WELLS et al. v. JONES et al.
66462.
BIRDSONG, Judge.
Attorney fees. Liberty Superior Court. Before Judge Harvey.
This is an appeal from an award of attorney fees to appellees. The trial court, sitting without a jury, found that appellants and appellees entered into a fee contract whereby appellants agreed to compensate appellees on a one-third contingent fee basis in exchange for legal representation in connection with a fire insurance claim. On appeal, the only two enumerations of error challenge the trial court's determination that a contingent fee contract existed and the trial court's refusal to find that the amount of attorney fees sought by appellees was excessive.
1. Appellants' first enumeration of error merely seeks to have this court review and weigh the evidence in his favor. The trial court found, on conflicting evidence, that the parties had entered into a one-third contingent fee arrangement. This finding of fact is supported by the evidence and will not be disturbed on appeal. Hanna Creative Enterprises v. Alterman Foods, 156 Ga. App. 376 (274 SE2d 761).
