The lawyer may retain the goods, money and all kinds of other assets given by or on behalf of his client, at the rate of his own receivables, until the attorney’s fee and expenses are paid.
Due to the fee determined by the contract and appreciated by the judge, the lawyer has the right of priority over the other creditors over the goods that the client has retained or earned as a result of his work, and the money to be collected or the goods to be received from the other party in accordance with the verdict. The priority right is in order according to the date of issue of the power of attorney, and if the power of attorney is general, the date of the first official application for the job subject to wages on behalf of the employer. In case of bankruptcy of the employer, it is also preferable that the lawyer will receive the attorney’s fee. However, the provision of the first paragraph of Article 206 of the Execution and Bankruptcy Law dated 09/06/1932 and numbered 2004 is reserved.
When the enforcement of a verdict is attempted, the enforcement office immediately notifies the attorney of the party requesting the prosecution, whose name is written in the writ, a notice to be issued at the same time as the writ of execution, with the expense being received from the person requesting the proceeding. Unless this notification is notified, the next stages of execution cannot be passed. The provisions of Article 59 of the Execution and Bankruptcy Law No. 2004 shall apply to the expenses of the notification to be made to the lawyer.
In the event of the lawyer’s death, the attorney’s fees, which are passed on to his heirs, have priority as well as the attorney’s receivables. However, the obligation to notify written in the third paragraph does not apply to these persons.
