District Court of Appeal of Florida

A judgment enforcing charging lien in an amount less than the amount owed by attorney's client, and denying recovery of contractually incurred attorney-s fees is reversed in part where: 1) it was error for the trial court to have reviewed charges to the client and determined that the client owed less than she was billed when she had never previously questioned the charges; and 2) the trial court erred in refusing to award the attorney fees for a supplemental petition to collect fees owed by client.
