SEXTON v. FERGUSON

No. 4D10-2826.

79 So.3d 51 (2011)

Ralph SEXTON and Ranch Management Consultants, Inc., Appellants, v. Johnathan A. FERGUSON, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

November 16, 2011.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Marcy I. LaHart of Marcy I. LaHart, P.A., Gainesville, for appellants.

Johnathan A. Ferguson , Fort Pierce, for appellee.

TAYLOR, J.

The issue in this appeal is whether section 57.105(1), Florida Statutes, authorizes an attorney's fee award solely against a party's attorney when the case against the attorney's client has been voluntarily dismissed as a result of settlement negotiations, and the claim for attorney's fees against the client has been waived. We hold that the statute does not authorize the award of fees solely against the attorney under these circumstances.
