Frequently Asked Questions

When should I bring in business litigation counsel rather than wait?

Earlier is almost always better. The most consequential strategic choices in business litigation — preserving evidence, framing the narrative, choosing the right forum, and deciding whether to file first — happen before a complaint is filed. Early counsel involvement preserves options that often disappear once the dispute is in court.

Do you handle both Florida state court and federal court matters?

Yes. The firm regularly litigates in Florida state circuit courts, federal district courts across the state, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and in arbitration. Choice of forum is often a critical strategic decision early in a matter.

How do you decide whether to settle or take a matter to trial?

That decision rests with the client, informed by our analysis of liability, damages, cost-benefit, and risk. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial and pursue settlement when it serves the client's goals — never as a default. A credible trial posture is almost always what produces a strong settlement.
