Opinion
October 13, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Carmen Beauchamp Ciparick, J.).
The court properly rejected in part the findings of the Special Referee. The additional attorneys' fees awarded to petitioner were warranted in light of the considerable work performed by petitioner for the benefit of respondent, who ultimately was awarded an equitable distribution of approximately $2 million (Haskin v. Mendler, 184 A.D.2d 372, 373).
