257 So. 2d 616 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1972
Harry Prebish, attorney at law, entered an agreement with Celia Frank to defend her in connection with a second degree murder charge pending against her for the murder of her husband and to further represent her in the acquisition of certain real property. The agreed upon fee for the criminal case was $25,000, and the fee in the property acquisition was $25,000.
This court therefore finds that the trial court was correct in upholding the fee for defense of the criminal action, but erred in upholding the fee for the property transaction. The judgment should be reduced by $25,000.
Affirmed in part and reversed in part.
