Q: Where do I find the form for filing a motion for new trial in Martin county Florida
I need to file a motion for a new trial based on the based on the fact that the plaintiff attorney went off the rails and closing arguments and called me a con man
A: The Court is unlikely to have a template form for that - but to be certain, ask the Clerk's Office and/or search for all online forms provided by the Clerk of Courts for the 19th Judicial Circuit of Florida. I'd be surprised if they have a motion for new trial form. Your best bet is to schedule a consultation with a lawyer on the best way to write the motion, as well as to make sure your grounds would be well-taken by the Court. One issue with seeking a new trial due to improper closing argument is whether a contemporaneous objection was lodged at the time.
