Morrison v. Estate of Salem
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 23, 2003 · Green, Schwartz, Wells
848 So. 2d 1164; 2003 Fla. App. LEXIS 5676; 2003 WL 1916765 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Morrison v. Estate of Salem

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The appellant attorney appeals an order denying her petition for payment of additional .legal fees in a probate matter. Based upon the record evidence adduced below, we cannot conclude that the trial court abused its discretion in denying the same. See DiStefano Constr., Inc. v. Fidelity & Deposit Co. of Md., 597 So.2d 248, 250 (Fla. 1992) (stating that “the award of attorney’s fees is a matter committed to sound judicial discretion which will not be disturbed on appeal, absent a showing of clear abuse of discretion.”). See also Afrazeh v. Miami Elevator Co. of Am., 769 So.2d 399, 401 (Fla. 3d DCA 2000) (same). We therefore affirm.

Affirmed.
