Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

STONE, J.

In this eminent domain action, we reverse an order awarding attorney's fees under section 73.092, Florida Statutes. The issue is which of two letters from the city attorney of Boynton Beach (City) to property owners constituted an "offer" to the owners for the purpose of determining the date from which to compute entitlement to attorney's fees. We find the nature of the first letter to be dispositive.
