Opinion
June 13, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Molloy, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
We agree with the Supreme Court's determination that the outgoing law firm of Benisatto and Ra is entitled to quantum meruit compensation in the amount of 18% of the $250,000 legal fee collected by Devitt and Spellman (see, Chugerman v Wagner, 42 A.D.2d 772, 773).
We find no merit to the contentions raised on the cross appeal. Lawrence, J.P., Kunzeman, Kooper and Harwood, JJ., concur.
