Before VAUGHN, SEITZ, and TRAYNOR, Justices.
ORDER
(1) Ramunno and Ramunno, P.A. (“Ramunno”) appeals from a Superior
Court order awarding 15% of a fee collected by Lundy Law in a personal injury
action in which Ramunno’s former client was the plaintiff.
(2) Ramunno claims that the award was “unreasonable, unfair and arbitrary
and not the result of a reasonable, articulate and rational process”1 because the
Superior Court failed to adequately explain the basis for its opinion.
1
Op. Br. at 3.
(3) We are satisfied that the Superior Court considered the relevant factors
in makings its determination that Ramunno was entitled on a quantum meruit basis
to 15% —or $6,000.00—of Lundy Law’s 40% contingency fee.
(4) We therefore affirm the Superior Court’s judgment on the basis of and
for the reasons stated in its June 1, 2018 opinion2 and June 19, 2018 order3 granting
in part and denying in part Ramunno’s motion for reargument.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior
Court be AFFIRMED.
