Cohen v. Grainger, 179 A.D.2d 808, 578 N.Y.S.2d 665, 1992 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 836 (N.Y. Ct. App. 1992).

Opinion

[809]*809The petitioner, an attorney discharged by his client prior to the termination of a lawsuit, failed to establish his entitlement to compensation on a contingent fee basis (cf., Lai Ling Cheng v Modansky Leasing Co., 73 NY2d 454). However, based on our independent review of the record, we conclude that the amount of counsel fees awarded to the petitioner on a quantum meruit basis of actual work performed was inadequate. We have therefore modified the award to the extent indicated (see, Jordan v Freeman, 40 AD2d 656). Thompson, J. P., Sullivan, Harwood and O’Brien, JJ., concur.
