SMITH & BURNETTI, P.A. v. FAULK

No. 95-02429.

677 So.2d 404 (1996)

SMITH & BURNETTI, P.A., Appellant, v. Kim FAULK, as Guardian of the property of John Martin, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

July 26, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Susan W. Fox and John R. Beranek of Macfarlane Ausley Ferguson & McMullen, Tampa, for Appellant.

Mark E. Clements of Mark E. Clements, P.A., Lakeland, for Appellee.

FRANK, Judge.

Smith & Burnetti, P.A., a law firm, has appealed from an order denying it a charging lien and an award of attorneys' fees stemming from the representation of John Martin in his action against Laidlaw Tree Service, Inc. Based upon the record disclosing serious conflict between the law firm and Martin, we are persuaded that the law firm had no ethical choice but to terminate its relationship with Martin. See R. Regulating Fla.Bar 4-1.7(b).
