Opinion

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the award of attorney’s fees but reverse the judgment for damages and remand with directions that judgment be entered for $3,000.00 plus legal interest. We find that the maximum damages proven for the civil theft claim were in the amount of $1,000.00. Accordingly, the maximum amount of damages recoverable under the civil theft statute is three times that amount, or $3,000.00.
