2 sentences

2017In Effective Teleservices, Inc. v.

Brown, 55 So.3d 612, 614 (Fla. 5th DCA 2011)).

2017The Fifth District’s rule in Van Diepen holds that a party seeking attorney’s fees on multiple claims has an affirmative burden to demonstrate what portion of the effort was expended on the claim that authorized attorney’s fees. 55 So.3d at 614 (“If the moving party cannot meet his burden for any reason, including inadequate, confusing or imprecise timesheets or record keeping, he or she should not be awarded attorney’s fees for those vague or incomprehensible charges.”).
