Description
Brian L. Webb and Webb & Ackels, P.C. (collectively Webb) intervened in Elisabeth Brockies divorce action seeking to recover unpaid attorneys fees. Brockie appeals from the trial courts judgment awarding unpaid attorneys fees in the amount of $16,467.72 and additional attorneys fees in the amount of $33,803.95 incurred in defending Brockies counterclaim for legal malpractice. In four issues, Brockie contends: (1) the trial court erred in proceeding without a jury; (2) the trial court erred in setting time limits for presenting her claims at trial; (3) the evidence is legally and factually insufficient to support the award of attorneys fees in favor of Webb; and (4) the evidence is legally and factually insufficient to support the award of additional attorneys fees in favor of Webb for fees incurred in defending against the counterclaim. We sustain Brockies fourth issue, reverse the award of attorneys fees in the amount of $33,803.95, and remand that issue to the trial court for proceedings consistent with this opinion. In all other respects, we affirm the trial courts judgment.
