IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT JANUARY TERM 2011 MAX R. WHITNEY, Appellant, v. Case No. 5D10-420 MICHAEL HILL, Appellee. ________________________________/ Opinion filed May 20, 2011 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County, John H. Adams, Sr., Judge. Max R. Whitney of Max R. Whitney, P.A., Deerfield Beach, for Appellant. Bonnie J. Jackson of the Jackson Law firm, P.A., Winter Park, for Appellee. PALMER, J. In this legal malpractice action, Attorney Max Whitney appeals the amended final judgment entered by the trial court in favor of appellee, Dr. Michael Hill. Whitney's claims of error are without merit and, therefore, we affirm the final judgment. However, we remand for correction of a mathematical error in the award of attorney's fees in the final judgment. The award amount should be $17,875 rather than $18,875. AFFIRMED; REMANDED for correction of mathematical error. GRIFFIN and SAWAYA, JJ., concur.
