This is an appeal from attorney’s fees and costs awards in an eminent domain case.

We find no error in the method used and result obtained in setting the attorney’s fees, in this unique case.

We do find error in the award of expert witness fees for appellees’ experts who testified about the amount of fees to be awarded. State Farm Fire & Cas. Co. v. Palma, 629 So.2d 830 (Fla.1993); Department of Transp., State of Florida v. Robbins & Robbins, Inc., 700 So.2d 782 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997), cert. dismissed, 716 So.2d 769, 23 Fla. L.
