Sorry to hear about your ordeal. There's no such thing as a "3-4 years statute of limitations" for any kind of claim. Was your former lawyer guessing that the limitations period would be somewhere between 3 and 4 years, being not sure if it was 3 or 4? The limitations period for a... View More

It is unclear why you are so worried when, according to you, you have a litigation lawyer at no cost to you and the plaintiff is suing you for an amount that your insurance would cover 100%. If that's really the case, your assets and income shouldn't be at risk - but you must consult... View More

You always have a right to fire your lawyer, but there likely is a big downside for doing so in your situation. See your retainer agreement. It probably indicates that if you terminate the representation any time after the first 3 business days, you are obligated to the firm for fees incurred,... View More

The way for you to get the help you need is to promptly schedule a consultation with a lawyer in your area. You said you are "charged", which I assume means a criminal charge. If so, seek a criminal defense attorney. You can click on the Find a Lawyer tab at the top of this page and... View More

You didn't ask a question. Is your question, "How does my fiancé find a criminal defense attorney?" One way is by using the Find a Lawyer tab at the top of this page. Another way is by contacting the Florida Bar Lawyer Referral Service. Another is by simply doing an online... View More

By "civil case ... in 2017", I'm guessing you mean a 2017 incident, not a lawsuit filed in 2017. There is not a category of attorneys for "old incident cases". Search the same way you would for any lawyer in that area of law, including contacting the Fla. Bar Lawyer... View More

This is simply a matter of basic contract principles. Your friend apparently agreed to the invasion of privacy by signing without reading it first. It is legally assumed that a contracting party has read and understood what he/she has signed. I often get calls from people who say, "But I... View More

If your attorney accepts a settlement offer without your consent, your first move should be to determine if the settlement can be revoked, either with the opposing party's consent or instead via a motion to the Court. First speak to your attorney who's been representing you in the case... View More

The answer depends on whether the footage is officially public record at this time, as well as on what you mean by "reporting misconduct". Generally, any official public records may be shared on social media. However, if you were to edit/compile the footage in a way that is not exactly... View More

Yes. If the judge were to make statements indicating bias against you, or if he has a conflict of interest, you could move to disqualify him, but being assigned to another case with your fiance as defendant is not, in itself, a ground for disqualification. Regardless of your situation, you should... View More

The coverage categories and limits are stated in your insurance policy. Either it's plainly covered or not. Should be clear, and an insurance agent should be able to explain, but if not, schedule a legal consultation. Also, you state that a pipe leakage flood caused damage. If water itself... View More

You have grounds to take legal action, and you may want to first have an attorney send a demand letter to see if the matter can be resolved without litigation. You may have grounds to seek a court judgment requiring transfer of title to you, and if not that, at least grounds for monetary... View More

You cite Fla. Statute Sec. 815.062, a statute that's pretty clear on its face and criminalizes certain acts committed against governmental entities. It's unclear why you mention that statute in conjunction with suing a county entity, as that statute is only about charging someone with a... View More

Your inquiry has a very mysterious set of facts. If a Will gives real property (house, condo, land, etc.) to two individuals to share 50/50, the Will must be probated - that is, a petition to open an estate in the Probate Court must be filed, resulting in a Court Order giving 50/50 ownership,...

You state that this is a "lawsuit claiming knowledge of propensities, allowing dog to roam at large and knowledge of foreseeable risks." If there happens to be evidence to support that claim (including the alleged injury), it may be a valid claim regardless of whether a co-defendant is... View More

I agree with Mr. Kaufman except would add but that for issues in which the Court requires an effort to confer in good faith before attending a hearing, if the opposing attorney were to tell the Judge that he requested to confer with you, and you refused to speak to him, the Judge will probably not...

Who would be ticketed is entirely within the discretion of the law enforcement officer(s) after the officer(s) speak to those on scene and review the situation. The officer(s) may or may not get it right - and that's why traffic tickets can be contested in traffic court. That's a... View More

You mom definitely has a potential personal injury claim for a significant amount of money damages, including for physical and mental pain and suffering, and should immediately schedule a free consultation with a lawyer. Regarding the discriminatory aspect, the legal issue would be whether there... View More

You seem to have answered your question yourself. You are basically asking if the other party to your contract (the overall deal you made) can add a charge that you did not agree to, for no reason. Of course not. I suggest you give the landlord your written itemized figures and ask if you're... View More

You do have freedom of speech, and if the business is private (not governmental or connected to the government), the business has the right to deny service to anyone it wants to, except that it cannot discriminate on the basis of one of the "protected classes" under the law, such as race,...
