PER CURIAM.

   Affirmed. See Evans v. McDonald, 313 F. App’x. 256, 257 (11th Cir.

where “the lawyer's lack of care and skill is so obvious that the trier of fact
can resolve the issue as a matter of common knowledge”); Suritz v. Kelner,
155 So. 2d 831, 834 (Fla. 3d DCA 1963) (finding expert testimony was
unnecessary where jury could find the attorney was negligent based on
the facts presented by the plaintiff).

WARNER, TAYLOR and LEVINE, JJ., concur.

                             *          *          *
