118 So.3d 1005 (2013)

Wayne M. OWEN, Jr., Appellant, v. CITY OF KEY WEST and Employers Mutual, Inc., Appellees.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

August 22, 2013.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bill McCabe , Longwood, and Ricardo Morales , Doral, for Appellant.

George A. Helm, III , of George A. Helm, III, P.A., Lake Mary, for Appellees.


PER CURIAM.

In this workers' compensation appeal, Claimant asserts the Judge of Compensation Claims (JCC) erred for six reasons. We find merit in only one-whether the JCC erred in concluding that section 440.34(1), Florida Statutes, prohibited her from approving a retainer agreement whereby Claimant would pay his attorney an hourly fee for defending him at a hearing on the Employer/Carrier's motion to tax costs. See Jacobson v. Se. Pers. Leasing, Inc.,
