Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I helpped a friend by paying for her lawyer in a civil case and she signed a written contract that relinquishes 50% of any settlement to me. Does this create a lien on the settlement proceeds and does the lawyer have to pay me?

Thank you again for your professional answers.
