MILLER, Judge.
Plaintiff attorney Adam G. Nunez seeks $5,316.70 as the balance due for attorney fees from defendants John C. Ricks, Wendell E. Bridges, A. W. Compton, and Oath-er O. Canaday. Defendants admit that they employed plaintiff to represent them in their opposition to the annexation of the Maplewood-Beverly Hills area by the municipality of Sulphur, Louisiana, but contend that he agreed to work for a maximum fee of $1,000. Plaintiff contends that defendants contracted to pay on the basis of $25 per hour and that he worked 283 hours (Tr. 283).
