554 So. 2d 8 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1989
This is an appeal by appellant, North Shore Medical Center, Inc. (appellant), from
Here, appellee obtained a judgment in the amount of $500,000. Pursuant to the provisions of the fee arrangement entered into in 1985, between appellee and her attorney, her attorney was entitled to receive a contingent fee of 50% of the gross proceeds in the event an appeal was taken.
Accordingly, we reverse and remand the attorney’s fee award with directions to award appellee $250,000 in attorney’s fees. In so ruling, we reject appellant’s assertion that the award should be further reduced as being inequitable. This is because we find that appellant’s arguments on this point are wholly unsupported by the record.
Reversed and remanded with directions.
