Opinion

No. 3D99-2644.

Opinion filed November 22, 2000.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Juan Ramirez, Jr., Judge, Lower Tribunal No. 97-04793.

Affirmed.

Perez, Goran Rodriguez and Luis N. Perez, for appellant.

Laurie S. Moss and Diane H. Tutt, for appellees.

Before Goderich and Sorondo, JJ., and Nesbitt, Senior Judge.


Because the appellant has failed to demonstrate that the trial court abused its discretion by determining the lodestar amount of attorneys' fees or by applying a 1.5 contingency risk multiplier, we affirm the award of attorneys' fees. See Centex-Rooney Constr. Co. v. Martin County, 725 So.2d 1255 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999).
