Tower Hill Prime Insurance Company,
Appellant,
vs.
Alfredo Torralbas,
Appellee.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Hon. William L.
Thomas, Judge.
Koch Parafinczuk & Wolf, P.A., and Jason B. Wolf, Justin R. Parafinczuk,
and Coleen M. Crocco (Fort Lauderdale), for appellant.
The Deiner Firm, P.A., and Eric Deiner, for appellee.
Before WELLS, SHEPHERD, and LOGUE, JJ.
LOGUE, J.
Tower Hill Prime Insurance Company appeals an order determining Alfredo
Torralbas’ entitlement to attorney’s fees and costs. An order that merely
determines entitlement to attorney’s fees without actually awarding an amount of
fees is not final and, therefore, not appealable. Reid v. Estate of Sonder, 63 So. 3d
7, 11 (Fla. 3d DCA 2011) (“It is well established that an order granting entitlement
to fees is a non-final, non-appealable order until the amount of the fee is set.”).
While the order under appeal determines Torralbas’ entitlement, it does not set the
amount of the fees and costs. This Court therefore lacks appellate jurisdiction to
review the order.
Dismissed.
