Practice Areas
Most of our practice involves four primary areas – Corporate Litigation, Business Law, Family Law, and Mediation/Arbitration – but we have experience in many areas of litigation and non-litigation.
Litigation
We try cases. We like to try cases. We enjoy trying cases. Do you want to avoid trial or would you prefer to mediate or settle your case instead of going to trial? That's fine, but when you are negotiating for that settlement, wouldn’t you rather be represented by a firm that has a reputation for trying cases? If you are not able to settle, do you want to have to start over with a new firm – one that actually tries cases? We have tried many types of cases in many jurisdictions, including:
- Business Litigation
- Construction Dispute Litigation
- Church/Ministry representation and consultation: For many years we have represented ministers, churches, Christian schools, seminaries, and other non-profit ministries in a variety of litigation (and non-litigation) situations
- Homeowners Insurance Claims: We work with Public Adjusters and homeowners to resolve and adjust insurance claims (e.g., water damage, hurricane damage, smoke/fire damage, etc.)
- Family Law (Adoptions; Divorce/Dissolution)
- Insurance Litigation
- Intellectual Property (Patent and Copyright) Litigation
- Landlord - Tenant Dispute Litigation
- Non-Competition / Restrictive Covenant Litigation
- Probate Litigation
- Products Liability Litigation
- Professional Liability Litigation
- Real Estate Litigation
- Personal Injury / Wrongful Death Litigation
- Shareholder Disputes / Derivative Actions / Takeovers
- Telecommunications Dispute Litigation
- Appeals at state and federal levels
Non-Litigation
There is perhaps one thing that is even more rewarding than prevailing in litigation: Keeping our clients out of litigation altogether! Over the course of representing clients in court, we have often formed bonds that have lasted for many, many years after the litigation was resolved. These familiar, long-term, personal/business relationships allow us to be efficient and responsive to our clients' unique and changing needs. We fill these non-litigation needs by careful transactional work in the following areas:
- Most types of Business Law
- Probate and Estates
- Insurance Claims
Need help in other areas?
- Criminal Law
- Taxation
- Securities
- Residential & Commercial Real Estate Closings
We are often asked about these areas, but we do not generally practice in these areas. Having practiced in South Florida since 1985, however, our attorneys have established relationships with some of the best attorneys in these areas and we will be more than happy to partner with or help you find an excellent attorney to address your needs in these or any areas in which we do not practice.
