Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

COUNSEL

Hackett & Dunne and Robert L. Hackett for Plaintiff and Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General (Florida), and Jason Vail, Assistant Attorney General, for Defendants and Respondents.

OPINION

POCHE, Acting P.J.

The issue presented is whether California will assert jurisdiction over the State of Florida and adjudicate an attorney-client fee dispute arising out of litigation conducted on behalf of Florida in California by a California attorney who was sought out and hired by Florida for the sole purpose of representing Florida in that litigation. We hold that California may properly exert jurisdiction.
