Are there any case law for me to ask for a non-compete or moratorium for both of us not to be able to use the existing customers of the business for a certain amount of time?

Good question. These items that you wish to have, such as a non-compete or a non-circumvention agreement, are documents that should really be agreed to up front at the time you and your partner did your initial business deal - so PRIOR to the actual dissolution of a company and not during a...

A home inspector's insurance is not public information. Although you did not say why you're asking, if it's because you want to sue an inspector for failing to spot a problem (the typical reason), you should look to your agreement with the inspector and you'll probably notice... Read more »

Great description of facts. I felt like I was there. I do not know of any state that DOESN'T require you to have your license in your physical possession while driving.

The short answer is no. In addition to a real estate attachment, which the plaintiff will soon record, there should have been an accompanying Complaint. You will have to Answer that and defend the case or resolve/settle it. Hopefully, your total exposure is no greater than $25,000 but depending... Read more »

From your question one cannot tell if the person with whom you disagree is actually an officer of the court. It looks like it might be a deputy clerk of courts, which is a little different.

Florida’s Rule 1.140 require defendants to file affirmative defenses within 20 days of bring serve. Does filing a petition to remove a case to federal court exempt a defendant in Florida from complying with Rule 1.140 and responding to a complaint within 20 days?

Generally, removal to Federal Court is not by petition, but rather by notice of removal that requires removal without needing State Court approval. Then the plaintiff may then file a motion to remand the case back to State Court if there are any grounds to do so, including technical defects in the... Read more »

Yes. The attorneys who file an appearance are the lawyers of record with the court on your behalf. That doesn't mean other lawyers in the firm cannot assist, behind the scenes, on a case. I think it's a matter of degree and what they are doing. Conducting legal research or drafting... Read more »
