Glanzman v. Fischman

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 11, 1992
183 A.D.2d 748 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

May 11, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Edward T. O'Brien, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

Contrary to the plaintiff's contentions, the Supreme Court was authorized to award reasonable legal expenses, including counsel fees (see, Gordon v. Janover, 121 A.D.2d 599), to the defendant pursuant to Judiciary Law § 773 and a prior order of the court. Moreover, we find that the amount of the award is proportionate to the services rendered, and is adequately supported by the evidence in the record. Therefore, the award is entirely reasonable under the circumstances (see, Glanzman v. Fischman, 143 A.D.2d 880, supra; Quantum Heating Servs. v. Austern, 121 A.D.2d 437).

The plaintiff's remaining contentions either are raised improperly for the first time on appeal (see, Orellano v. Samples Tire Equip. Supply Corp., 110 A.D.2d 757) or lack factual and legal merit. Sullivan, J.P., Balletta, Eiber and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
