1Opinion of the Court

HARRIS, Judge.

We reverse the sentence of this juvenile because it exceeds the maximum sentence permitted for these misdemeanor offenses. See V.W. v. State, 693 So.2d 722 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997). We reverse the public defender’s lien because- the defendant was not advised of his right to contest the amount of the fee. See Stover v. State, 685 So.2d 1026 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997).

REVERSED and REMANDED for re-sentencing.
