No brief was filed on behalf of appellee. Lolita James Martin entered an appearance for appellee.

PER CURIAM:

Appellant, the defendant below, appeals from a trial court order awarding $750.00 in attorney's fees to plaintiff's counsel. Appellant argues that the court erred in awarding attorney's fees because (1) the record did not support the court's decision, (2) her attorney was deprived of notice and an opportunity to be heard before the award was made, and (3) the attorney did not act in bad faith or engage in vexatious or oppressive conduct. We reverse.
