JACK SMITH, Justice.
The appellee filed suit against her attorney, the appellant, to recover a debt based on a written contract. A non-jury trial resulted in judgment for the appellee in the amount of $2900.
The appellant represented the appellee in a divorce action. As settlement for her property rights in this action, the appellee received a check for $13,100. In June, 1972, the appellee, upon receiving the check, endorsed it and gave it to the appellant who was to invest $2900 in commodities and place the balance of the proceeds in the appellee’s savings and checking accounts.
