    No. 83383.
    Supreme Court of Florida.
    March 16, 1995.
    James T. Walker of Brennan, Hayskar, Jefferson, Gorman, Walker & Schwerer, P.A., Ft. Pierce, for petitioner.
    Searcy, Denney, Scarola, Barnhart & Ship-ley, P.A., West Palm Beach, and Joel D. Eaton of Podhurst, Orseck, Josefsberg, Eaton, Meadow, Olin & Perwin, P.A., Miami, for respondent.
   KOGAN, Justice.

We have for review Searcy, Denney, Scarola, Barnhart & Shipley, P.A v. Barner, 632 So.2d 1071 (Fla. 4th DCA 1994), which expressly and directly conflicts with Boyette v. Martha White Foods, Inc., 528 So.2d 539 (Fla. 1st DCA), review denied, 538 So.2d 1255 (Fla.1988), and various other district court decisions, on the issue of whether the Rowe lodestar method for determining reasonable attorney fees applies to a fee dispute between a discharged attorney and former client. We have jurisdiction. Art. Y, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.

We approve the district court’s decision based on our decision in Searcy, Denney, Scarola, Barnhart & Shipley, P.A. v. Poletz, 652 So.2d 366 (Fla.1995), wherein we held, consistent with the decision under review, that Rowe does not apply in this context.

It is so ordered.

GRIMES, C.J., and OVERTON, SHAW, HARDING and WELLS, JJ., concur.
