West Palm Beach, FL asked in Civil Litigation, Contracts and Legal Malpractice for Florida

Q: In a two-party consent state., can I legally record conversations regarding my car contract without notifying dealership

Considering Florida's two-party consent law, can I legally record conversations regarding my car contract without notifying the dealership employees, given that the discussions pertain to a contractual agreement where I suspect fraudulent behavior?

Does the nature of the conversations being related to potential fraud or deceptive practices impact the expectation of privacy for the dealership employees, and how might this influence the admissibility of my recordings in court?

If these recordings are deemed inadmissible due to consent issues, what other types of evidence can I gather to substantiate my claims of fraud and misrepresentation against the dealer?

What potential legal consequences could arise from my recordings if they are found to be illegal, and how might this affect my strategy in pursuing my case against the dealership?"
