Business and contract transactions and ownership can be complicated and in the event of a problem it often requires experienced legal representation. The South Florida Law Office represents real estate owners, businesses, partners, shareholders, neighbors, landlords, and family members who find themselves in legal disputes. In fact, all business entities in Florida are legally required to be represented by counsel if and when in court.

Without representation often, minor or relatively non-complex disputes can escalate into expensive, time consuming, and aggravating legal conflicts. The South Florida Law Office handles disputes ranging from business contract litigation, non-disclosure agreement breaches, contract disputes, mortgage foreclosure, to evictions and more.

The South Florida Law Office specifically represents landlords (and sometimes tenants) in landlord tenant disputes in South Florida. We handle legal matters involving residential and commercial properties. Landlords in the State of Florida must follow certain laws that can become confusing at times. If a landlord does not precisely adhere what are called conditions precedent, a landlords otherwise viable case will likely fail. When a landlord does not follow the legally proper procedure to evict a tenant, it often results in costing the landlord more in lost rent than it would have had they initially hired competent legal representation at the inception. Time is money and in the event of litigation, an experienced landlord attorney can help you realize the best possible outcome; including removal of the tenant quickly, so you can go back to leasing your property.

Hiring an attorney could mean the difference between loosing your home to a foreclosure and staying in your home. Many banks are unwilling to even negotiate a modification with out the help of a lawyer. Whether you are looking for a work out/modification plan, a deed in lieu, forbearance, cash for keys, or take your case to trial, we can help. An experienced attorney will be able to help you determine the best option for you individually and will be able to pin point affirmative defenses and potential short comings of the bank’s case.

For example, often paragraph 22 of the mortgage requires that banks provide what’s typically referred to as a “notice of default” so as to provide the homeowner with notice of the alleged default date and the amount owed on the home. Legally this is called a conditions precedent and is something that banks are required to do, prior to foreclosure. If they fail to do this, it may be grounds to dismiss your case.

Moreover, an experienced attorney will be able to evaluate the “chain of title” of the mortgage assignments and note endorsements. This is a very important aspect of the bank’s case, as they must prove that they have what’s called standing in order to foreclose. If a bank does not have standing, that means they do not have legal ground to take you home. An experienced foreclosure defense attorney can help you determine the strengths and weaknesses of your case. The sooner you retain an attorney the better.
