Civil Litigation

What Is Civil Litigation In Florida?

Civil Litigation is a legal dispute between two or more parties (individuals or business’) that seek damages and/or other remedies beyond criminal sanctions. Florida Civil Litigation attorneys represent parties in trials, hearings, arbitrations and/or mediations before administrative agencies, foreign tribunals and federal, state and local courts. In a civil litigation case, the plaintiff sues the defendant to recoup damages sustained, usually through monetary damages.

Florida law requires corporate plaintiffs and defendants to have an attorney in all cases except for small claims court (which consists of cases seeking less than $8,000 in damages). It’s never an easy or exciting experience to be on either side of a lawsuit, many of which are long, expensive, and tedious. The civil litigation attorneys at Vincent Law, P.A will fight for you from the initial consultation until your case is resolved.

When Is It Time to Talk About Litigation?

Many company executives and business owners wait longer than they should speak with a Fort Lauderdale litigation attorney. As previously mentioned, this can prove costly. So, when is the right time to talk to an attorney about potential litigation?
Hidden

This type of proceeding is used where there are considerable assets and it is necessary to appoint a personal representative to act on behalf of the estate. Letters of administration will be issued to the personal representative so that he or she will be able to administer the estate. A formal administration MUST be filed by an attorney licensed to practice law in Florida, unless the personal representative is the sole beneficiary.

You have questions about your (or your company’s) legal rights or obligations
The best time to consult with litigation counsel is before anything goes wrong. If you have questions about your (or your company’s) legal rights or obligations, we can help you understand your situation and move forward accordingly.
You have tried to resolve a disagreement to no avail
If you have tried to resolve a dispute to no avail, it may be time to explore your legal options. We can help you decide whether (and when) to file a lawsuit, and we can advise you regarding any remaining pre-suit options you may have available.
You have concerns about a possible lawsuit
If events have transpired that you believe may lead to a lawsuit, the time to engage litigation counsel is now.
You (or your company) have been sued
If you are currently facing a lawsuit, you need to engage experienced litigation counsel promptly. You only have a limited amount of time to respond before you will risk facing a default judgment.
You (or your company) are currently experiencing legal, financial or reputational harm
If a competitor, former employee, business partner, tenant, or other party is presently violating your (or your company’s) rights, initiating litigation promptly could be essential for preserving the remedies you have available. This could be the case, for example, if a business partner has defamed you or exceeded his or her authority, if a competitor is using your company’s trade secrets, or if a tenant is holding over in violation of your lease.
