No. 36883-4-I.

930 P.2d 340 (1997)

84 Wash.App. 723

John William TAYLOR and Dara L. Taylor, husband and wife, Appellants, v. Pauline Yuri SHIGAKI, and John Doe Shigaki, husband and wife and their marital community, Defendants, Fred Zeder and Peterson, Bracelin, Young, Putra, Fletcher & Zeder, Inc., P.S., Respondents.

Court of Appeals of Washington, Division 1.

January 27, 1997.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Heather Houston, Seattle, for Appellants.

Michael Caryl, Seattle, for Respondents.

COLEMAN, Judge.

John Taylor discharged his attorney, Fred Zeder, in a personal injury action nine days before trial and after Zeder had negotiated a settlement offer of $225,000. Taylor claims the trial court erred in concluding that Zeder substantially performed the contingency fee contract entitling him to a one-third share of the settlement offer. We hold that Zeder is entitled to the contingency fee because he substantially performed the contract.
