In Florida, it's not uncommon for residential complexes to enter into exclusive agreements with service providers like Comcast. However, the legality of such agreements can depend on the specific terms and whether they align with federal and state regulations.

If the contract with the dealer says the dealer has 10 days to cancel the agreement and 2 months have passed before it decided to cancel because they did not want to fix the windshield, I think you have a binding agreement. Of course, this answer is based on what you have stated as fact.

Taking everything as true, you would have a claim for unfair and deceptive trade practices and breach of contract. You can claim $1000 and let the company say it is worth less and let the judge decide. This is a small claims case.

Don't necessarily believe what the FedEx driver told you about a search warrant. It's really none of her business. But if Homeland Security does get a judge to issue a warrant, simply tell them, as you indicate, that you don't have the package. Be ready for them to search your premises.

That depends on your facts and the type of garnishment. One issue is whether you are eligible to file a claim of exemption (for example, under one of the categories mentioned in Fla.

Florida Statute 715.02 has nothing to do with deposits made on purchases of motor vehicles; it pertains to real property (i.e.: land & buildings).

A civil trial lawyer would be the kind of lawyer you need but someone who specializes in gender law. I would call your homeowner's insurance company to see if they will provide a lawyer to represent you.

You have the right to dispute the incomplete credit card charge for the mentorship you received.

I assume you were wrongly billed by a company that used both your credit and debit card.

There is such a thing as a self-settled spendthrift or asset protection trust, but many states do not allow them. Also, typically the settlor (you) cannot also serve as trustee of the trust.

The devil is in the details. A lawyer will need to look at the agreement you signed. This sounds like a yo-yo sale, which means they sold you the vehicle and now want to renegotiate the loan. This is an unfair and deceptive trade practice. Very, very seldom is a dealer willing to let a vehicle... View More

The party filing the motion to dismiss must send all parties the motion to dismiss and the notice of hearing. This is usually done on the court's e-portal. Make sure you have signed up with the court's e-portal. If you are not on the e-portal, the other party should send it by mail to you.
First paragraph while answering my complaint individually. Is that just a game they’re playing because I looked up some of their other cases and they say the same thing or is it a real motion that I need to defend?
answered on Oct 23, 2023
It appears to be a motion to dismiss. While they may put that language in many such motions, that fact doesn't make it any less a motion which you need to address.
anything that has to be answered to their defenses or proven or do we just move forward to discovery and setting a court date?

I am not exactly sure what you are asking. I am assuming that a defendant has moved to dismiss a complaint, but I do not know if the motion was granted.
