Types of Civil Litigation We Handle in Kendall

Civil litigation refers to legal disputes that do not involve criminal charges. These matters can be personal or commercial in nature and often involve financial damages, property rights, or the enforcement of contracts.

Our civil litigation practice in Kendall includes:

  • Breach of contract claims
  • Real estate and boundary disputes
  • Landlord-tenant litigation
  • Business dissolution and partner conflicts

Each case is unique. Some disputes arise suddenly—others build over time. No matter the circumstance, our role is to evaluate the strength of your position and develop a course of action to protect your interests.

Litigation That Reflects Kendall’s Diverse Legal Landscape

Kendall’s mix of residential developments, shopping centers, medical offices, and family-run businesses creates a wide variety of legal disputes. Our team has experience handling:

  • Home improvement disputes: Contractors walking off the job or leaving behind substandard work
  • Retail lease conflicts: Store owners in malls or plazas dealing with ambiguous lease terms or early termination
  • Business breakup litigation: Disagreements over control, ownership shares, or company assets
  • Neighbor disputes: Property line disagreements or nuisance claims in densely developed areas
  • Professional liability: Claims involving doctors, dentists, or consultants accused of breach or negligence

We serve both plaintiffs and defendants in civil matters and tailor our strategy to the specific facts, goals, and personalities involved.

A Smart Approach to Litigation

Civil litigation can be stressful—but it doesn’t have to be chaotic. We break the process into clear steps, helping you stay informed and in control:

  1. Initial Assessment – We review your contracts, records, and communications to understand your legal position.
  2. Pre-Litigation Strategy – Many cases benefit from a strong demand letter or early negotiation before court filings.
  3. Filing or Responding to a Complaint – If we proceed to litigation, we prepare thorough pleadings that clearly state your claims or defenses.
  4. Discovery Phase – We collect evidence, take depositions, and uncover facts that support your case.
  5. Motions and Hearings – We address legal issues before trial through strategic motions, which can resolve or narrow the dispute.
  6. Trial and Judgment – If needed, we represent you in trial with a focused, evidence-driven presentation.
  7. Post-Judgment Enforcement – If you win a judgment, we help you collect what’s owed or protect your assets if you’re on defense.

Our job is to anticipate issues before they arise and ensure you’re positioned for success at every stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long do I have to file a civil lawsuit in Florida?
It depends on the type of claim. Breach of written contract: 5 years. Oral contracts: 4 years. Property damage: 4 years. Defamation: 2 years. Missing these deadlines can prevent you from filing your case at all.

2. What happens if someone sues me and I ignore it?
Ignoring a lawsuit can result in a default judgment. That means the court could rule against you without hearing your side. If you’ve been served, you must respond promptly—usually within 20 days in Florida.

3. Do I need to go to trial to resolve my case?
Not necessarily. Many civil cases settle through negotiation or mediation. But if trial becomes necessary, our firm is fully prepared to present your case in court and protect your interests.
