ON CONFESSION OF ERROR

HENDON, J.

The appellee, Life Medical Center Corp., a/a/o Alma A. Guevara ("Life Medical"), has properly confessed error based on the decision in United Automobile Insurance Company v. Professional Medical Group, Inc., 318 So.3d 1261 (Fla. 3d DCA 2021), in which this Court held that the trial court reversibly erred by awarding attorney's fees without conducting an evidentiary hearing on the reasonableness of attorney's fees. Id. at 1262. Accordingly, we reverse the order under review and remand for an evidentiary hearing.

Reversed and remanded.
