IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED SAMANTHA C. ROTUNDA, Appellant/Cross-Appellee, v. Case No. 5D19-2371 WINDHAM L. ROTUNDA, Appellee/Cross-Appellant. ________________________________/ Opinion filed November 6, 2020 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hernando County, George G. Angeliadis, Judge. Raymond J. Rafool, C. Francesca Corallo, and David R. Hazouri, of Rafool LLC, Miami, for Appellant/Cross-Appellee. Allison M. Perry, of Florida Appeals, P.A., Tampa, for Appellee/Cross-Appellant. PER CURIAM. The parties have each appealed the detailed amended final judgment of dissolution of marriage entered by the trial court following trial. Having fully considered the issues raised in both the appeal and the cross-appeal, and after a thorough review of the record, we affirm the amended final judgment in all respects, except one. Appellant argues that the trial court erred because its award of attorney’s fees to her fails to take into consideration the services provided by counsel from July 13, 2018, to July 19, 2018, which was the last day of the four-day trial. We agree. Accordingly, we reverse that portion of the amended final judgment and remand for the trial court to award Appellant reasonable attorney’s fees for her counsel’s services rendered during this time period for trial preparation and trial. AFFIRMED, in part; REVERSED, in part; REMANDED with directions. EVANDER, C.J., LAMBERT and HARRIS, JJ., concur. 2
