Chatman v. London
District Court of Appeal of Florida
1Per curiam
Appellant, Manicia Chatman, appeals a trial court’s order which awarded attorney’s fees and costs to Mulholland & Associates, her former attorneys. We affirm.
Chatman employed Mulholland & Associates to represent her in a personal injury action. After the pretrial conference and after an offer of settlement had been filed, Chatman dismissed Mulholland. Chatman then settled the case. Mulholland filed a motion for fees for work it had performed. After an evidentiary hearing, the trial judge entered an order finding that Mulhol-land was dismissed without cause and awarded fees and costs.
