FAQs
Here are answers to some common questions we receive from potential clients across our various types of law.
The first step is to file a “Petition for Dissolution of Marriage” with the circuit court. One of the spouses must have resided in Florida for at least six months before filing. The petition outlines what you are asking the court for regarding division of property, child custody, and support. It’s highly recommended to consult a family law attorney before filing.
This may be a breach of contract or a breach of your partnership agreement. The first step is to review the written agreement to understand your rights and obligations. An attorney can help you analyze the situation, send a formal demand letter, and, if necessary, file a lawsuit to enforce the agreement or seek damages.
In many cases, yes. Simply paying the ticket means you are admitting guilt, which can result in points on your license and higher insurance premiums. A traffic attorney can attend court for you and may be able to get the ticket dismissed, reduce the charge to a non-moving violation (no points), or secure a withhold of adjudication.
If you believe a business has used false advertising, charged you for services you didn’t receive, sold you a defective product, or engaged in harassing debt collection, you may have a case. The key is whether the business’s practice was unfair or deceptive. Consulting with a consumer protection lawyer is the best way to evaluate your claim.
You have the right to challenge the fine. You should first review your HOA’s governing documents (declaration and bylaws) to see if the rule is valid and if you truly violated it. You are typically entitled to a hearing before a committee of other owners. An attorney specializing in community association law can help you navigate this process and defend your rights.
A property dispute is any legal conflict over real estate. This can include disagreements with a neighbor over a fence or property line, conflicts with a co-owner about selling the property, issues with a landlord or tenant over a lease, or problems with the legal title to the property.
