California Court of Appeal

Where an attorney made no showing that his services were either performed "at the request" of or were of "direct benefit" to a hospital (a lien claimant), he could not recover fees under quantum meruit against a hospital who may have received "incidental benefit" from his actions, and the hospital's lien claim will not be reduced by the amount of those fees.
