Heading: Solicitor's Fees

Text: Evidence before the court below by members of the bar as to a reasonable solicitor's fee in this case range from approximately $1500 to $2500. The court fixed the fee for Mrs. Leo's counsel at $2000. The record in this case is rather voluminous and in addition to the main trial, there were various motions and references which required the attention of Mrs. Leo's counsel. All in all it cannot be said that the solicitor's fee allowed by the court was not a proper one, and the decree in this aspect is affirmed. Since no issue was raised as to the award of the divorce itself, and since a reading of the record indicates sufficient evidence to support the decree in this regard, it necessarily follows that the decree in this aspect is due to be affirmed. Affirmed in part; reversed and rendered in part. LIVINGSTON, C. J., and GOODWYN and MERRILL, JJ., concur.
