Oregon Statutes - Chapter 87 - Statutory Liens - Section 87.490 - Priority of attorney’s lien upon actions and judgments.

(1) Except for tax liens, prior encumbrances and prior liens of record on the real or personal property subject to the lien created by ORS 87.445, the lien created by ORS 87.445 is superior to all other liens, including a lien created by ORS 147.285.

(2) When the lien of an attorney created under ORS 87.445 attaches to a judgment allowing or enforcing a client’s lien, the attorney’s lien has the same priority as the client’s lien with regard to personal or real property subject to the client’s lien. [1975 c.648 §68 (enacted in lieu of 87.495); 2003 c.576 §343; 2005 c.383 §12]
