Upon careful consideration, I conclude that the February 1998
contract  unambiguously applies only to
cases in which the clients were referred by Dardas or Ogletree or in which
Dardas and Ogletree performed work. 
Therefore, the trial court correctly granted summary judgment as to all
claims.  I would grant rehearing and
affirm the trial court=s judgment.  Accordingly, I
respectfully dissent.
