Opinion of the Court
PER 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).

Marquel D. Williams v. State, 870 So. 2d 71 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003)…ere, Williams’ counsel raised the nonintroduction while moving for judgment of acquittal.

D.R.S. v. State, 912 So. 2d 1280 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005)…d that if a trial court knew of the defect in the State’s case, it “would undoubtedly permit the [S]tate to reopen its case to offer the contraband as evidence.” 417 So. 2d at 978. This court has followed G.E.G. numerous times. See Ortiz v. State, 843 So. 2d 313, 314 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003); Williams v. State, 870 So. 2d 71 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003); Mack v.
