Description
This appeal presents the question of whether a trial court, in a marriage dissolution action, is granted the power by the statute to consider on its own motion the issue of the reasonableness of fees charged a client by his attorney. It also presents the issue of whether the court may enter an order setting forth the compensation to which the attorney is entitled, once the reasonableness of attorney fees is made an issue, without hearing any additional testimony concerning the value of services actually performed. We answer both questions in the negative; we reverse the judgment of the trial court.
