SEARCY, DENNEY, SCAROLA, BARNHART SHIPLEY, P.A., APPELLANT, v. PAIGE N. POLETZ, A MINOR CHILD, BY AND THROUGH HER PARENTS, WILLIAM RANDOLPH POLETZ AND MINDY J. POLETZ, AND WILLIAM RANDOLPH POLETZ AND MINDY J. POLETZ, INDIVIDUALLY, APPELLEES.

PATTERSON, Judge.

In this dispute over how the fee of a lawyer, first retained under a contingent fee contract, then discharged, should be calculated on a quantum meruit basis, we affirm the trial court. See Rood v. McMakin, 538 So.2d 125 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989); Riesgo v. Weinstein, 523 So.2d 752 (Fla. 2d DCA 1988). We certify conflict with Stabinski, Funt De Oliveira, P.A. v. Law Offices of Frank H. Alvarez, 490 So.2d 159 (Fla. 3d DCA), review denied, 500 So.2d 545 (Fla. 1986), and Faro v. Romani, 629 So.2d 872 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993).

FRANK, C.J., and HALL, J., concur.
