We defend Evictions. Call us at 954-356-0450!

We are available to assist our clients with their legal needs during difficult times.

A bankruptcy filing may provide additional time to bring your rental payments current or to find an alternative residence, but only if you contact us before a final judgment of eviction if entered.

If this concerns you then we can help. We can defend a State Court eviction, negotiate with landlords who often would prefer an out of court resolution rather than a contested eviction or a bankruptcy. If a payment plan cannot be negotiated then a bankruptcy should be filed before the landlord obtains a judgment.

There may also be financial assistance available for some renters – see https://www.ourflorida.com/.

The first step in a residential eviction proceeding is the three day notice to pay rent, which must be served on you or posted on the property by the landlord. When that expires the landlord can file an eviction lawsuit. Note that a response must be filed within five days of service of the complaint, not the normal 20 days. You should contact an attorney before the five days runs. There may be defenses to the proceeding, such as an inadequate three day notice. We offer a free initial consultation. If needed, we can file a bankruptcy action to give you more time to get caught up on the rent. Leases are treated differently in bankruptcy than mortgage foreclosures, so you may not have much time to address the past due rent.Call us at 954-356-0450.

We handle Chapter 7,11 and 13 bankruptcy cases. We provide a free consultation to review your case and to provide you a chance to question our experience and abilities.
