You absolutely need an attorney to handle this for you. The contract and real estate law issues you are dealing with are fairly complicated. There is unfortunately no way to give you a direct answer or guide you through the process through here due to the issues involved. You should at least set up... View More

It sounds like you may very well have a valid cause of action for breach of contract, unjust enrichment and/or quantum meruit. You are most likely owed the value of the work you performed. You should set up a consultation with an attorney who handles breach of contract disputes, present the... View More

It is generally not advisable for you to draft your own contract if you want it to be legally enforceable. You can run into problems if the parties obligations are not adequately established by the language of the contracts. If you intend to run the business for a significant amount of time, it...

Nothing in a contract or the performance thereof is absolute. However, most clauses like that are generally enforceable. Contract law can come down to the *exact* wording of the contract and its clauses. A misplaced comma can change the obligations of the parties, for example. That being said, what... View More

Yes, you absolutely can. However, be aware that under Fla. Stat. 57.105(7):

"(7) If a contract contains a provision allowing attorney’s fees to a party when he or she is required to take any action to enforce the contract, the court may also allow reasonable attorney’s fees to... View More

Hello Carol,

You should find all of the relevant documents and arrange for a consultation with an attorney who handles breach of contract cases, business litigation, and/or commercial litigation. Many law firms provide free consultations. You will need to present that contract to the... View More

Hello. It is really going to depend on the exact wording of the contract, specifically as to dates and time for completion. You should set up a free consultation with a contract attorney, have them go over the wording of the contract, and tell you what your options are. My firm provides such... View More

Hello! It is difficult to give a good answer to your question without reviewing the lease and addendum. You should consult with a landlord tenant attorney in Miami. The attorney will need to review the exact wording of the lease and addendum agreements in order to give you advise as to your options.

I agree with Ms. Kim. Giving you an answer to your question requires an attorney to read all of the terms of the contract/agreement. Consult with an attorney who handles commercial law and/or business litigation and provide them with the contract beforehand.

You need to contact an attorney who handles contracts, business litigation, or real estate disputes and present them with all of the agreements and/or contracts concerning the property/sale, as well as the information for the property so that the attorney can research the property's chain of...

It depends on a couple of things. First, what does the operating agreement say about the withdrawal of members. If there is no operating agreement, then the withdrawal has to comply with Florida's LLC act. This isn't an expensive thing for a business lawyer to do, but you should really... View More

Generally, no. The accused has the right to confront the witnesses against them. That includes the jury being able to observe the demeanor of the witness (including facial expressions).

Potentially yes. Hire a criminal defense attorney who handles federal charges/crimes.

Generally speaking, "truth" is a defense to any defamation claim. It isn't defamation to make a true statement about someone.

Review your lease to see what it says about the landlord having access to the unit for that purpose and how much notice they need to give you.

Generally, no. I have never seen a lease agreement that gives the landlord the ability to require their tenant to file a restraining order should the landlord desire them to. On the other hand, if you are on a month-to-month tenancy (no lease), the landlord can simply file a 15-day notice to... View More

That is a pretty vague description of the event. It depends on what you mean by "denies new evidence." If the judge finds that a probationer did not violate probation despite the state's allegation/evidence, the person will either go back on probation most of the time. I recommend... View More

Generally speaking, you can only violate your probation for violating one of the terms or conditions of the order of probation in your case. You have to make sure to check in with your probation and make sure that they know about your current living situation. If you are homeless, your probation... View More
