Practice

Twelve kinds of business trouble, handled by one litigation team.

Choose the one that sounds like your week and the assistant picks up from there, in about a minute.

Who it's for

Owners with a problem that cannot wait for a quiet month

The firm acts for operating businesses and the people who built them: owner-run shops, family companies, and employers with several locations across Central Florida.

If an unpaid invoice, a co-owner or a landlord brought you here, start with a short message.

Approach

What happens after you get in touch

The firm's attorneys all try cases, so the contracts they draft are written with a judge's reading in mind.

  1. A receptionist greets a business owner at a law-office front desk.

    You get in touch

    Use the assistant, call or email. Begin with who is involved and what kind of matter it is, so the firm can run a conflict check.

  2. Notes on a legal pad beside a laptop and a phone on a calm office desk.

    A plain assessment

    Within one business day, usually within a few hours, the firm says whether it sees a workable claim or defense, what the work would involve and what it is likely to cost.

  3. A business owner walks an advisor through a document at a table by tall windows.

    Your attorney, directly

    If the firm takes the matter, you deal with your attorney, not a chain of hand-offs. If another firm would suit you better, it says so.

Sample reviews

What clients notice about the process

Sample review

“I sent a message on a Tuesday night and had a call the next morning. Dana explained how the court process works, in plain English, before we talked about anything else.”

Sample client, Orlando Sample review · October 2026

Sample review

“The first call was the clearest explanation of a lease dispute I had heard. I came away knowing the next three steps, who would take them, and when I would hear from the firm again.”

Sample client, Winter Park Sample review · September 2026

Sample review

“Every email got a real answer, usually the same day. When something took longer, the firm said so and told me why, which is more than I can say for other professionals I have hired.”

Sample client, Lake Mary Sample review · September 2026

Sample review

“We run three locations and I was nervous about handing over papers. The firm told me what to send and what to hold back, and kept to that. Nothing arrived at my inbox without a reason.”

Sample client, Kissimmee Sample review · September 2026

Sample review

“My partner and I disagreed about nearly everything except that we needed someone to lay out our options plainly. That is what we got: the choices, the costs and a straight answer about timing.”

Questions

Before you reach out

Short answers to what business owners ask first. For anything else, ask the assistant or call.

Hands sign the last page of an agreement beside a coffee cup and reading glasses.
Is the first conversation free?

Yes. You describe the situation, the firm gives an honest read and lays out your options, and there is no obligation. If another firm would suit you better, it says so.

How do the firm's fees work?

That depends on the matter. The firm uses flat fees for defined projects, hourly billing for longer matters and, where it fits, contingency arrangements. The options are explained first and put in writing before work starts.

How quickly will I hear back?

On business days most messages get a reply within a few hours. Anything sent at night or over a weekend is answered by the next business morning. If it is urgent, call (656) 236-2374.

What should I have ready for the first call?

The names of the people and companies involved, a short description of the problem and any deadline you know about. Gather the contracts, emails and court papers, but hold them until the firm tells you how to send them.

Will I speak with an actual attorney?

Yes. A licensed attorney handles the conversation from the start, not a paralegal or an intake worker.

Is what I share confidential?

Confidentiality and attorney-client privilege are different things, and privilege may not exist yet. Start with names and a general description, and wait for the firm's instructions before sharing anything sensitive.

Does contacting the firm make me a client?

No. Writing, calling or using the chat assistant does not create an attorney-client relationship. That begins only when the firm agrees to take your matter.

Is the chat assistant a lawyer?

No. It is an automated assistant that gives general information about the firm and passes your request to the attorneys. It does not give legal advice.
