[Citation omitted.] Upon review of an award of attorney fees, the appellate court does not reweigh the testimony or evidence presented nor reassess the credibility of witnesses. [Citation omitted.] The trial judge is considered an expert in determining attorney fees [citation omitted]; and an attorney fee award will not be set aside on appeal when supported by substantial competent evidence.’ [Citation omitted.]” (Emphasis added.)
