No. 89-1966.

563 So.2d 752 (1990)

Gerald ASKOWITZ, Appellant, v. SUSAN FEUER INTERIOR DESIGN, INC., Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Rehearing Denied July 25, 1990.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Evan J. Langbein, Miami, for appellant.

Roy D. Wasson, Miami, for appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and NESBITT and FERGUSON, JJ.

FERGUSON, Judge.

The main issue in this appeal is a challenge to the application of the contingency risk multiplier to enhance the fee for prosecuting a small collection claim and defending a counterclaim based on the same contract where the defendant was the successful party on the counterclaim. We affirm the lodestar fee awarded to the plaintiff on the original claim and for defense of the counterclaim, and reverse the fee enhancement.
