Carley, Chief Judge,
concurring specially.
I agree with the majority that summary judgment was imprope because there were genuine issues of material fact as to the terms an< conditions of the contract between the client and the attorney. I d not agree with the majority that Spears v. Allied Engineering Assoc. *427186 Ga. App. 878 (368 SE2d 818) (1988) is applicable to this case in such a manner as to require a finding that the affidavit of the client is sufficient to raise an issue as to the “reasonableness” of the fee. However, there being a genuine issue as to the terms of the contract between the parties, summary judgment was improper.
Decided July 3, 1989
Rehearing denied July 25, 1989
King, Morriss, Talansky & Witcher, Joseph H. King, Jr., for appellant.
Tyrus B. Atkinson, Jr., pro se.
