In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, John Marshall, the plaintiffs former attorney, appeals, as limited by his brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Alpert, J.), dated August 20, 2002, as denied those branches of his motion which were for a retaining lien in the amount of $2,084.75 and a charging lien on the underlying action.
Ordered that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, with costs, and those branches of the appellant’s motion which were for a retaining lien in the amount of $2,084.75 and a charging lien are granted.
The plaintiff submitted no proof that the appellant was discharged for cause. Thus, the appellant is entitled to reimbursement for his disbursements of $2,084.75 advanced in prosecuting the plaintiffs personal injury action (see Security Credit Sys. v Perfetto, 242 AD2d 871 [1997]).
