Patnode v. Patnode

Patnode v. Patnode
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 4, 1988 · Hall, Scheb, Schoonover
536 So. 2d 1064; 13 Fla. L. Weekly 2447; 1988 Fla. App. LEXIS 4830; 1988 WL 115956 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Patnode v. Patnode

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

After reviewing the entire record in this matter, we construe the trial court’s order concerning attorney’s fees to be a determination that the sum of $3000 was a reason*1065able attorney’s fee for legal services provided to the appellant subsequent to a temporary order concerning fees. This construction results in a determination that a reasonable attorney’s fee for the entire proceeding was $6500 and that the appellee was required to pay $3500 of that amount. As so construed, we find that the trial court did not abuse its discretion and, accordingly, affirm. See Canakaris v. Canakaris, 382 So.2d 1197 (Fla. 1980).

SCHEB, A.C.J., and SCHOONOVER and HALL, JJ., concur.
