In this dispute over how the fee of a lawyer, first retained under a contingent fee contract, then discharged, should be calculated on a quantum meruit basis, we affirm the trial court.See Rood v. McMakin,538 So.2d 125(Fla. 2d DCA 1989);Riesgov. Weinstein,523 So.2d 752(Fla. 2d DCA 1988). We certify conflict withStabinski, Funt De Oliveira, P.A. v. Law Officesof Frank H. Alvarez,490 So.2d 159(Fla. 3d DCA),reviewdenied,500 So.2d 545 (Fla. 1986), andFaro v. Romani,629 So.2d 872(Fla. 4th DCA 1993).
