April 27, 2004.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gary L. Gardner, Assistant Attorney General, Jefferson City, for appellant.

Brian P. Seltzer, Clayton, for respondent.


PATRICIA L. COHEN, Judge.

The Department of Social Services appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of St. Louis County awarding attorney fees and costs against the Department of Social Services and in favor of counsel for the guardian as well as the guardian ad litem in a guardianship proceeding. Because we hold that the judgment awarding attorney fees and costs assessed against the Department of Social Services is contrary to law, we reverse.
