Civil litigation covers disputes that do not fit neatly in a single category: property disagreements, fraud and misrepresentation, negligence claims, injunctions, and conflicts with government agencies or institutions.
Every attorney at the firm is a trial lawyer. That experience shapes everything from the first demand letter to closing argument.
How we help
- Evaluate your claim or defense candidly before you commit
- Develop the evidence through discovery, depositions, and expert work
- Pursue early resolution where it serves you and trial where it does not
- Represent you in state and federal court and on appeal
- Keep you informed with clear, practical communication
Plaintiff and defense
We represent people bringing claims and people defending against them. Understanding both sides makes us better at each.
Alternative dispute resolution
Mediation and arbitration can resolve matters faster and privately. Samuel Perez trained in alternative dispute resolution, and Michael Tichenor has served as a judge and first-chaired arbitrations.
Frequently asked questions
What happens at the first meeting?
We listen, review your documents, explain the legal issues and possible outcomes, and outline costs. Consultations are free and there is no obligation.
How long does a civil case take?
Anywhere from a few months to a few years depending on complexity, the court's docket, and whether the case settles. We set realistic expectations early.
Do you handle appeals?
Yes. Our attorneys have appeared before Florida's District Courts of Appeal and are admitted to the federal Eleventh Circuit.
