District Court of Appeal of Florida

An order awarding defendants only a portion of the $192,023 in attorney-s fees and $60,595.53 in costs they incurred during the course of breach of contract litigation brought by a mold remediator is affirmed where there was no error in a finding that defendants' counsel spent "separate and distinct time" on claims and counterclaims for which fees were not awardable, a claim that the court should have awarded all of defendants' fees and costs incurred after the date of their proposal to settle is rejected, and there was no abuse of discretion in an award for fees charged by defendants' expert.
