POPE, Justice,
(concurring).
Mrs. Griffith asserted that her contract was originally made at a time when she was a married woman and that the contract was voidable. The attorney-client relationship arose while she was thus favored. This fiduciary relationship lodged the burden of proof upon her attorney to overcome her charge that the fee was unreasonable. 1 Black, Rescission and Cancellation, §§ 48, 51 (2d ed. 1929). Counsel, charged with that burden, failed to convince the trier of fact. The judgment must therefore be affirmed.
