District Court of Appeal of Florida

In ongoing dissolution of marriage proceedings, former counsel's petition seeking review of an order granting a wife's motion to release discovery papers, in spite of her delinquency in paying fees she owed the firm, is granted where the firm had an implied-in-fact contract, even if not written, and did not need a court order to maintain its retaining lien.
