Our approach
Litigation is expensive, and not every case should be tried. We begin with a candid assessment of your position, the likely cost, and the realistic outcomes. Many disputes resolve through a well-prepared demand, negotiation, or mediation. When a case needs to be tried, we prepare it for trial.
Frequently asked questions
I was served with a lawsuit. How long do I have to respond?
In most Florida civil cases a written response is due within 20 days of service, and some case types have shorter deadlines. If you miss the deadline, the court can enter a default against you. Contact a lawyer as soon as you are served.
Do I have to go to court to resolve my dispute?
Not always. Many cases settle after a demand letter, negotiation, or mediation. Florida courts also require mediation in most civil cases before trial.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit?
Every claim has a statute of limitations, and the period depends on the type of claim. Because the deadlines vary and missing one can end a claim, have your situation reviewed promptly.
