Robert Jean Worley v. Oliver Butler

This is an appeal from a summary judgment. Appellee, the Honorable Oliver J. Butler, Jr., sued appellant, Robert J. Worley, to recover $22,866.26 in legal fees and expenses, and he also sought the reasonable attorneys fees incurred in the prosecution and appeal of this suit. Worley answered the suit and filed a counterclaim against Butler for legal malpractice. The trial court granted a partial summary judgment favorable to Butler on Worleys counterclaim, and it granted summary judgment favorable to Butler on his suit for attorneys fees. This appeal concerns only the summary judgment pertaining to Butlers suit for attorneys fees (Butlers second summary judgment motion). By a single point of error, Worley complains that the trial court erred in granting Butlers second summary judgment motion. We affirm the trial courts judgment.
