Christine:
Also, you have to realize that some malpractice insurance company will
ask you how many lawsuits you have filed against your clients to collect
fees. I remember seeing that question in the application form for
malpractice insurance. Not sure how the insurance company view it. But it
is definitely a question they ask.

The Notice of client's right to arbitration is a California requirement,
not just OC.
It's mandatory:

Stephen,
Wait a year after case is closed (judgment entered etc) to avoid a
malpractice cross-complaint but periodically send them Past Due invoices so
you can prove you made reasonable attempts to collect. Check with your
local country bar to see if they offer fee dispute arbitration and then
offer that to client as option to settle rather than going to court, small
claims or limited jurisdiction. However, assuming you get judgment,
collection is a bitch - writ, garnishment or abstract. Up to you on how
much effort you want to put into collection effort.
Good luck.

In OC you first have to send them the application to arbitrate form from
your local county bar association. If they do not agree to local bar fee
dispute arbitration, then you sue them for fees. However, I would wait a
year so they cannot cross-complain for malpractice as a defense.

The best advice I ever heard was to wait one year and one day after the
date engagement concluded. Make sure there is as little dispute as possible
regarding the date. The reason is that, in general, statute of limitations
for malpractice is one year from conclusion of representation (this is
obviously not a complete rule, just a rule of thumb). Malpractice actions,
whether there has been any or not, are usually filed in response to a suit
for collection of attorney fees. This gives you a quick defense.

Mates,
Anyone out there with some experience in filing a lawsuit against a former
client for fees? Please email me off list if you're willing to discuss your
experience with this, do's and don't, and procedures with collecting on a
judgment. This was for a non-bankruptcy representation.
Thanks in advance,
Stephen
