Description
WASTE, C.J. The complaint in this action for attorneys fees contains two counts. The first count sets forth a written contract providing for the payment of a one-third contingent fee and the second, a common count, asks for the reasonable value of services performed. No evidence was introduced in support of the latter count, and we therefore dismiss it from consideration. In conformity with the allegations of defendants affirmative defense, the trial court found that the contract set out in count one had been procured by fraud, and that it was against public policy and void. Judgment was thereupon entered for the defendant. Plaintiff prosecutes this appeal, contending that the judgment is contrary to law, and that the evidence does not support the finding of fraud.
