FAQ
Questions from Lakeland
Answers from Florida law and from the court where your case is filed.
How long do I have to act?
Florida has strict deadlines, and evidence fades fast. The sooner you call, the more we can protect. A short call today costs you nothing and keeps your options open.
Will I actually talk to an attorney?
Yes. When you first call, our intake team takes your details so we can reach you quickly. The consultation itself is with an attorney. As your case moves you will also work with our case managers, and an attorney stays accountable for it start to finish. We keep our caseload small on purpose so your case gets real attention.
Do you handle business and contract disputes too?
Yes. Civil litigation is a full practice at the firm, not a side service. Our civil litigation division handles breach of contract, construction defect, business disputes, and real estate litigation. The first consultation is free and with an attorney, the same as on the injury side. These matters are then handled on a retainer and billed hourly, and we scope the cost with you up front.
What does it cost to hire you?
The first consultation is free in both practices, and the consultation itself is with an attorney. After that the fee depends on the practice. Personal injury is contingency: nothing up front, and no fee unless we recover for you. Civil litigation is handled on a retainer and billed hourly, and we scope the cost with you before we start.
Will I have to go to court?
We prepare every case as if it will go to trial.
We only had a handshake deal. Can I still sue?
Often, yes. Florida enforces many oral contracts, though the deadline is shorter and proof matters more. Bring us what you have and we will assess it.
Where is my Lakeland injury case filed?
Injury lawsuits from accidents in Lakeland and the rest of Polk County are filed in the Tenth Judicial Circuit at the Polk County Courthouse in Bartow, the county seat. Most claims settle before a suit is ever filed, but we prepare every case as if it will be tried there.
