The Campbell Law Group P.A., 2121 Ponce de León Suite 540, Coral Gables, FL 33134. General information about Florida law, not legal advice.

My company was just served with a lawsuit in Florida. What should I do first?

Do not ignore the papers. Note the response deadline, preserve documents and messages about the dispute, and have a Florida business litigator review the complaint before you call the other side. Missing a deadline can lead to a default. https://www.tclgfirm.com/practice-areas/business-litigation This is general information about Florida law, not legal advice, and it does not predict or guarantee any outcome.

How much does it cost to sue another business in Florida, and how long does it take?

There is no single price or timeline. A case that settles after a demand letter can finish in weeks. A case that goes through discovery and trial in Florida circuit court often takes many months and can take years. Miami-Dade’s Complex Business Litigation section assigns judges who hear only complex business cases, which tends to move those matters faster than a general civil docket. Cost depends on the claims, the evidence, and whether the case settles. https://www.tclgfirm.com/practice-areas/business-litigation This is general information about Florida law, not legal advice, and it does not predict or guarantee any outcome.

What evidence should I preserve when a Florida business dispute starts?

Preserve contracts, emails, texts, financial records, and anything you would normally delete on a schedule. Altering or discarding evidence after a dispute starts can hurt the case and, in some situations, create a separate problem. https://www.tclgfirm.com/practice-areas/business-litigation This is general information about Florida law, not legal advice, and it does not predict or guarantee any outcome.
