Horn v. Independent Fire Ins. Co.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Dec 22, 1977
352 So. 2d 891 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1977)

Opinion

No. GG-272.

November 18, 1977. Rehearing Denied December 22, 1977.

Appeal from the Marion County Circuit Court, D.R. Smith, J.

Gregory E. Tucci of Blowers, Walkup, Berk Tucci, Ocala, for appellants.

Andrew G. Pattillo, Jr., of Pattillo, MacKay McKeever, Ocala, and Harry M. Hobbs, Tampa, for appellee.


An appeal from an order of the trial court fixing fees for the services of appellants' lawyer on the prior appeal and assessing the amount against appellee. See Independent Fire Ins. Co. v. Horn, 343 So.2d 862 (Fla. 1st DCA 1977). Although the $1,500 fee awarded is surely at the bottom of the range of a reasonable fee for the services required of appellants' lawyer on the appeal, we cannot say that it was insufficient as a matter of law.

AFFIRMED. Appellants' motion for an allowance of additional fee money on this appeal is DENIED.

MILLS, Acting C.J., and ERVIN, J., concur.
