What working with the firm involves, and what you can expect from us.
Owners of Florida businesses in conflict with a co-owner — including minority owners being frozen out and majority owners dealing with an obstructive partner. We take business and real estate litigation matters where a real dispute, an identified opposing party, and a real decision-maker are present. We do not handle personal injury, criminal, family or immigration matters.
You will always know what stage your matter is at, and what happens next.
Consultations by phone or at our office.
The firm serves clients from its Fort Lauderdale office. Consultations are available by phone, by video, or in person. We appear in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach courts.
