A: In California, if you have an existing asbestos case and are dealing with issues related to a lien against it, you should consider hiring an attorney experienced in asbestos litigation and personal injury law. This type of lawyer is well-versed in the complexities of asbestos cases and will understand the legal implications of liens on such claims.

An attorney with experience in liens and personal injury law can help you navigate the specifics of the lien, determine its validity, and work on resolving the issue. They will be able to advise you on the best course of action, whether it involves negotiating the lien amount, disputing the lien, or addressing it through legal proceedings.

It’s important to communicate clearly with your new lawyer about your existing asbestos case and the specifics of the lien. Providing all relevant documentation and details will help them understand your situation better and offer more precise guidance. Remember, choosing a lawyer who has a good track record with similar cases will increase the likelihood of a favorable outcome for your situation.
