Opinion
No. 4-86-0198.
September 17, 1986.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Bobby Gunther, Judge.
Frederick C. Heidgerd of Heidgerd Martin, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellant/intermediary.
No appearance for appellee.
We find, based on the record, that the trial court abused its discretion when it limited fees under section 63.097, Florida Statutes (1984), to no more than $500, regardless that a larger fee would be patently warranted and reasonable.
We reverse and remand with respectful instructions to reconsider the award.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
DOWNEY, LETTS and WALDEN, JJ., concur.
