Miami firm Irons Law Group has appealed a decision by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Laurel M. Isicoff, who dissolved a charging lien the firm had filed against a former client, finding its 50% contingency fee agreement was excessive and in violation of Florida Bar rules.

The client, Miami Development & Holdings LLC, was a creditor in a South Florida bankruptcy case. It retained Irons Law Group to file a proof of claim against debtor Miami Beverly LLC and four affiliated companies in March 2018. The firm filed a notice of appearance, a complaint, nine lis pendens and attended a status conference before withdrawing as counsel about four months later in July.
