Opinion
July 22, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Hurowitz, J.).
Order modified, on the law and the facts, by increasing the amount of the lien to $2,000, less $400 previously paid. As so modified, order affirmed, with costs to the appellant.
We find that the amount of the lien should have been determined on a quantum meruit basis and that the amount fixed was, therefore, inadequate to the extent indicated. Under the facts of this case, it is not necessary to remit the matter for a hearing ( cf. Matter of Goldin, 104 A.D.2d 890). Brown, J.P., Rubin, Lawrence and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
