MILLS, Judge.
Coca-Cola, a self-insured employer, appeals a workers’ compensation order finding it responsible for Isenhour’s attorney’s fee. We affirm.
It is clear that without the services of his attorney Isenhour would have been considered 25% permanently partially disabled. Due to his attorney’s efforts, Isenhour received additional treatment, additional temporary total disability, and is classified as permanently totally disabled. A fee is clearly due, Section 440.34, Florida Statutes (1975).
The amount was properly based on the criteria set forth in Lee Engineering v. Fellows, 209 So. 2d 454 (Fla.1965).
AFFIRMED.
