1Per curiam

We affirm as to all issues raised on appeal. Pursuant to our opinion in Lewis v. Bondy, 752 So.2d 1225 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000), we affirm the trial court’s use of a multiplier in determining attorney’s fees under the offer of judgment statute; however, we note conflict with Allstate Ins. Co. v. Sarkis, 809 So.2d 6 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001) (en banc), review granted, 826 So.2d 992 (Fla.2002).
