                     ON CONFESSION OF ERROR

     HENDON, J.
     The appellee, Life Medical Center Corp., a/a/o Alma A. Guevara

(“Life Medical”), has properly confessed error based on the decision in

United Automobile Insurance Company v. Professional Medical Group,

Inc., 318 So. 3d 1261 (Fla. 3d DCA 2021), in which this Court held that the

trial court reversibly erred by awarding attorney’s fees without conducting

an evidentiary hearing on the reasonableness of attorney’s fees. Id. at

1262. Accordingly, we reverse the order under review and remand for an

evidentiary hearing.

     Reversed and remanded.
