Opinion
Case No. 3D02-2155.
Opinion filed April 23, 2003.
An appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, D. Bruce Levy, Judge. Lower Tribunal No. 95-4297.
Philip Michael Cullen, III (Ft. Lauderdale), for appellant.
George W. Chesrow, for appellee.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and GREEN and WELLS, JJ.
The appellant attorney appeals an order denying her petition for payment of additional legal fees in a probate matter. Based upon the record evidence adduced below, we cannot conclude that the trial court abused its discretion in denying the same. See DiStefano Constr., Inc. v. Fidelity Deposit Co. of Md., 597 So.2d 248, 250 (Fla. 1992) (stating that "the award of attorney's fees is a matter committed to sound judicial discretion which will not be disturbed on appeal, absent a showing of clear abuse of discretion."). See also Afrazeh v. Miami Elevator Co. of Am., 769 So.2d 399, 401 (Fla. 3d DCA 2000) (same). We therefore affirm.
Affirmed.
