122 So.3d 997 (2013)

Michael BOSSEN, Petitioner, v. JUSTICE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMISSION, Respondent.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

October 11, 2013.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Rick A. Sichta and Susanne K. Sichta of Arnold and Sichta, Jacksonville, for Petitioner.

Ana Cristina Martinez , General Counsel, and Christian D. Lake , Assistant General Counsel, The Justice Administrative Commission, Tallahassee, for Respondent.


WOLF, J.

Petitioner, Michael Bossen, seeks review of an order awarding him attorney's fees for representing an indigent defendant pursuant to section 27.5304, Florida Statutes (2012). We find the lower court departed from the essential requirements of the law by finding the fee award was not confiscatory without first making a finding regarding the reasonable number of hours expended by petitioner. See Fletcher v.
