If your matter is not listed here, ask — the boundaries are rarely as clean as a list suggests.
What working with the firm involves, and what you can expect from us.
Business owners and companies dealing with unpaid invoices, disputed performance, or the breakdown of a business agreement. The firm considers matters with a real dispute, an identified opposing party, and a decision-maker authorized to hire counsel. Acceptance depends on the attorney's review and conflict clearance. We do not handle personal injury, criminal, family, or immigration matters.
If your company has been sued for breach of contract. Write down the date and the way the papers were delivered, and keep the summons with the complaint. In many ordinary Florida civil cases the answer is due 20 days after service, but other periods apply in some cases, so the deadline is confirmed from the papers rather than assumed. A company generally must respond through a lawyer in county and circuit court. Read what to do in the first days after service, then call (754) 332-2101.
Contract disputes are part of the firm's business law practice.
You will always know what stage your matter is at, and what happens next.
Have the parties' names, the type of agreement, a brief timeline, any known deadlines, and whether a lawsuit has been filed ready to discuss. Keep contracts and amendments, invoices, payment records, correspondence, and court papers available. Ask the team how and when to provide documents; do not send confidential information before the firm confirms it may receive it.
Initial intake is separate from legal advice and document review. Request an initial case assessment to discuss next steps.
The firm serves clients from its Fort Lauderdale office. Consultations are available by phone, by video, or in person. We appear in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach courts.

A breach happens when a party fails to meet an obligation in the agreement without a valid legal excuse.
No — oral and implied contracts can be enforceable, though written agreements are easier to prove.
Options include monetary damages, specific performance, or rescinding the contract, depending on the case.
The first call is a 20-minute Initial Case Assessment with Jenny Elliot, who is not an attorney. The call addresses the nature of the dispute, party information for conflict checks, firm fit, and scheduling. The attorney handles legal advice and determines whether the firm can accept the matter.
The initial case assessment is for intake, conflict information, and next steps. It does not include legal advice or document review. Attorney document review requires an agreed engagement, scope of work, and payment arrangements.
Whether you have a legal question, need to schedule a consultation, or want to learn more about how we can help, we respond quickly and clearly.
Nothing on this form creates an attorney-client relationship. Do not send confidential information until an engagement is signed.
