Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Small Claims Part of the Civil Court of the City of
New York, New York County (Geoffrey D. Wright, J.), entered on or about July 6, 2006, after
trial, in favor of plaintiff in the sum of $3,171.79.
Per Curiam.
Judgment (Geoffrey D. Wright, J.), entered on or about July 6, 2006, affirmed, without costs.
In this small claims action to recover fees for legal services rendered, we are satisfied that the judgment in plaintiff's favor achieved substantial justice between the parties in accordance with the rules and principles of substantive law (see CCA 1807; Williams v Roper, 269 AD2d 125 [2000], lv dismissed 95 NY2d 898 [2000]). The evidence, fairly interpreted, supports a finding that plaintiff rendered legal services at defendant's behest pursuant to the parties' retainer agreement.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
Decision Date: October 11, 2007
