Appellee Williams' request for attorney fees is granted, with the following modification. Because appellee did not prevail on the punitive damages issue, the cost for services rendered will be reduced ten-percent to $8,055.00. The appellee's request for expenses in the amount of $1,068.79 is granted. Thus, the total award for fees and expenses allowed by the court is $9,123.79.
