Opinion
April 24, 1989
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Ferraro, J.).
Ordered that the amended order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Upon a review of the record, it is clear that the hearing court properly considered all of the relevant factors in limiting the award of counsel fees to the amount already received by the plaintiff's law firm (see, Matter of Freeman, 40 A.D.2d 397, affd 34 N.Y.2d 1, 9; Matter of Potts, 213 App. Div. 59, 62, affd 241 N.Y. 593; Matter of Ury, 108 A.D.2d 816; Reisch Klar v. Sadofsky, 78 A.D.2d 517).
The proof submitted did not demonstrate the need for the inordinate number of hours the firm claims to have devoted to representing its client nor did it specify the actual services rendered (see, Matter of Schaich, 55 A.D.2d 914, lv denied 42 N.Y.2d 802; Jones v. Jones, 133 A.D.2d 217). Thompson, J.P., Bracken, Kunzeman and Spatt, JJ., concur.
