BEVERLY CLARK AND ESTATE OF BARBARA BERTMAN, BENEFICIARIES AND INTERESTED PERSONS, IN THE ESTATE OF GOLDIE SIMON, DECEASED, APPELLANTS, v. SQUIRE, SANDERS DEMPSEY FRED R. KUCKER, APPELLEES.

PER CURIAM.

The trial court affixed an attorney's fee without testimony from the attorney in support of his fee other than a time sheet and without any other testimony to indicate the reasonableness of the time expended or the amount of fee to be awarded. We find this to be error. Snider v. Snider, 375 So.2d 591 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979); Lee v. Gilbert, Silverstein Hellman, 350 So.2d 1147 (Fla. 3d DCA 1977); Lyle v. Lyle, 167 So.2d 256 (Fla. 2d DCA 1964). Wherefore the order under review fixing attorney's fees be and the same is hereby reversed and the cause remanded for further proceedings.
