Description
We granted certiorari in Joyce v. Elliott, 857 P.2d 549 (Colo. App. 1993), to decide whether our rules of procedure governing contingent fee agreements prohibit recovery in quantum meruit by an attorney from a former client, without express provision in the contingent fee agreement. The court of appeals reversed the trial court's judgment enforcing an attorney's lien in favor of James E. Elliott, Jr., an attorney, against Mr. Elliott's client, James Joyce. Because the contingent fee agreement did not contain a statement indicating the client would be liable to pay compensation to the attorney under the particular circumstances by which the attorney-client relationship was terminated, we affirm.
