Attorney's fees.

Practice point: Where a lease provision gives a landlord the right to recover attorney's fees, those fees must be reasonable, considering factors such as time spent on the case, the difficulties involved, the nature of the services rendered, the amount in dispute, the attorney's professional standing and the results obtained.

Case: Miller Realty Assoc. v. Amendola, NY Slip Op 04846 (2d Dept. 2008)
