No. AN-119 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | May 9, 1983
This is the second time we have been required to review a compensation order awarding an attorney’s fee which the employer/carrier (E/C) contend is excessive. On the first appeal, this court found the $7,710 attorney’s fee awarded by the deputy commissioner (deputy) .was excessive and reversed and remanded the case to the deputy for a redetermination of the attorney’s fee in compliance with the order. Roundtree Transport, Inc. v. Godek, 412 So. 2d 66" date_filed="1982-04-08" court="Fla. Dist. Ct. App." case_name="Roundtree Transport, Inc. v. Godek">412 So.2d 66 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982). The deputy apparently chose to ignore the prior order of this court and entered the order herein awarding $7,500 in attorney’s fees.
We reverse and remand this case with instructions that the deputy enter an order directing the E/C to pay the claimant’s counsel an attorney’s fee in the amount of $3,315.75.
