Laura R. MORRISON, Appellant, v. ESTATE OF David I. SALEM, Appellee.
    No. 3D02-2155.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    April 23, 2003.
    Philip Michael Cullen, III (FLLauder-dale), for appellant.
    George W. Chesrow, Coral Gables, for appellee.
    
      Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and GREEN and WELLS, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

The appellant attorney appeals an order denying her petition for payment of additional .legal fees in a probate matter. Based upon the record evidence adduced below, we cannot conclude that the trial court abused its discretion in denying the same. See DiStefano Constr., Inc. v. Fidelity & Deposit Co. of Md., 597 So.2d 248, 250 (Fla.1992) (stating that “the award of attorney’s fees is a matter committed to sound judicial discretion which will not be disturbed on appeal, absent a showing of clear abuse of discretion.”). See also Afrazeh v. Miami Elevator Co. of Am., 769 So.2d 399, 401 (Fla. 3d DCA 2000) (same). We therefore affirm.

Affirmed.
