Weisberg v. Jaurigue Law Group CA2/7
In July 2013, Esquivel retained Weisberg to represent him in his divorce from Palomares. The engagement letter provided that Esquivel would pay Weisberg’s fees on an hourly basis and gave Weisberg a contractual lien on any recovery obtained by Esquivel in the case. In December 2014, Esquivel terminated Weisberg’s employment, and Weisberg filed and served a Notice of Charging Lien on Esquivel, Palomares and Jaurigue, asserting $11,698.36 in unpaid fees.

B. Jaurigue Distributes $10,000 to Esquivel
In February 2016, Jaurigue informed Weisberg it was holding approximately $147,000 in its client trust account from a community real property sale and it was aware of Weisberg’s lien. Jaurigue also told Weisberg that neither Esquivel nor Palomares had received proceeds from the sale.
In December 2016, the family court issued a statement of decision awarding $21,339.87 to Esquivel on breach of fiduciary duty claims against Palomares.
