THOMAS J. TABOR, JR., ESQ. v. GLORIA JUANITA MILTON

Syllabus

Gloria Juanita Milton (\Milton\) hired attorney Thomas J. Tabor, Jr. (\Tabor\) to defend her as an appellee in Milton v. Powell. After successfully defending her in the appeal, a disagreement arose between Tabor and Milton over the attorney's fees she owed him. Tabor filed a complaint in the General Sessions Court for Claiborne County (\the General Sessions Court\), which found that Milton owed Tabor $10,030 in unpaid attorney's fees. Milton appealed to the Circuit Court for Claiborne County (\the Trial Court\), which came to a different conclusion than the General Sessions Court. The Trial Court determined that any remaining amount owed by Milton above and beyond what she already had paid was excessive and unreasonable. Tabor appealed. Discerning no reversible error, we affirm.

Judges: Chief Judge D. Michael Swiney
