35-20-09. Release of attorney's lien by undertaking

Any interested person may release an attorney's lien by executing an undertaking in an

amount double the amount claimed, or in such other amount as may be fixed by a judge of the

district court of the county in which the lien is filed or in which the subject of the lien is held. The

undertaking must be conditioned to pay to the attorney the amount finally due the attorney for

the attorney's services, which amount may be ascertained by suit on the undertaking. The

undertaking must be filed after approval by the clerk of court of the county. Any interested

person may make written demand upon the holder of an attorney's lien for a bill of particulars of

the services and amount claimed for each item or upon each written contract with the person for

whom the services were rendered, and thereupon, unless such bill of particulars is furnished

within ten days after service of the demand, the lien must be released.
