Griner v. Foskey

Deen, Presiding Judge.

The appellant attorneys filed a petition in two counts alleging they represented five children of W. H. Foskey, Sr., deceased, in certain litigation for which they had not been paid. Count 1 sought foreclosure of an attorney’s lien, and Count 2 was based on quantum meruit and on the testimony of the name appellant that the defendants had agreed to pay her “one third of the property that was saved for them.” Summary judgment was granted the defendants on Count 1 and a jury verdict for plaintiffs in the sum of $500 on Count 2 is attacked as being grossly inadequate.
