ORDER
PER CURIAM. S.E. Farris Law Firm ("Appellant") appeals from the judgment of the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, following a bench trial, awarding Appellant $7,500 plus $785 in expenses as satisfaction of its attorneys’ lien ("the Lien") against the $70,000 settlement amount American Family Insurance ("Respondent") paid Appellant's former client ("Client") to settle a personal injury action brought against Respondent's insured ("the Insured"). We affirm.
No jurisprudential purpose would be served by a written opinion. We have, however, provided the parties a memorandum setting forth the reasons for our decision. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
