Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When a [ ] court is asked to order disclosure of an attorney's file that is subject to a valid retaining lien, it should not order the attorney to turn over the file until it has provided for the client's payment of delinquent fees or arranged for the client to post adequate security for the outstanding balance due.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Only under rare circumstances will the files be released without payment or the furnishing of adequate security: where there is a clear necessity in a criminal case and a defendant cannot post security or where the lawyer's misconduct caused his withdrawal.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Any requirement to produce the file would destroy the effectiveness of the lien.”
