234 A.D.2d 539; 651 N.Y.S.2d 917; 1996 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 13229
Wehr v. New York Telephone Co.

Opinion of the Court

—In a negligence action to recover damages for personal injuries, Siben & Siben, L.L.P., appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Schmidt, J.), dated November 28, 1995, which, after a hearing, fixed the amount of its attorneys’ fees at $9,000.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

Under the circumstances, we find no basis in the record to disturb the Supreme Court’s award of counsel fees (see, Chernofsky & DeNoyelles v Waldman, 212 AD2d 566). Bracken, J. P., Copertino, Joy, Florio and McGinity, JJ., concur.
