Florida Breach Of Contract Legal Questions

What you describe is not "duress". Absent making a new arrangement with buyer, which would also likely cost your parents some money to make it worth buyer's while, they need to comply with the deal they made or risk getting sued, which will certainly not lower the stress level for either of them.

Unless you have such a promise in writing, anyone will struggle to believe a lawyer would "promise to save your house". If he was retained to defend a foreclosure and simply failed to appear at hearings, you may have a malpractice claim, but theremay be difficulty proving damages, unless there is some lock solid issue that would have "saved your house" other than you payingoff mortgage or refinancing it....

Not sure what you mean by a "bankruptcy house" as your description seems inconsistent with a Trustee sale/purchase. If you mean you are buying a forclosure house from a bank and the owner is in bankruptcy, you should have been well aware that you were making a high risk complicated purchase hoping to get a great deal, thats the trade off. Can the bank back out? No way to tell without reviewing the sale agreement and the contingencies.This is why people should have real estate lawyers handle these transactions not real estate sales people or brokers.

I dont imagine that anyone will take such a case on a contigent fee as there may or may not be any money recovery to it. Warranty issues are always hyper techinical. It may be worth your while to hire a lawyer to send a civil theft demand letter to try and get the watch back at least. This may cause them to sendyou the watch back, un-repaired of course, or to finish repairs if they were just draggin feet and may be worth spending a couple hundred dollars to do.

EEOC would not likely have jurisdiction over this. Its possible that its an ethical violation with the Florida Bar if you have a contract with the firm. First and foremost would be to sit down with the lawyers at the firm and try to address the issue as there are certainly some odd things afoot as it is not normal for a client to expect to be taken to dinner by a lawyer or a law firm employee. This sounds like a dating situation gone wrong as much as a legal issue gone bad. If you have questions, we provide FREE legal consultations at 1-800-922-6442.... Read More

The answer depends on a few factors, the most important of which comes down to the lease, the management contract with the property management company, and the date the tenants moved out.  With regard to the tenant, the Florida statutes dictate what to do and how to do it and it depends on how they moved out and when they moved out.  That part has to do with applying the security deposit to the damages.  From there, you would look to sue for the remaining.  The dollar amount dictates which court you would be in – under 5k, small claims; 5k – 15k, County Court; and over 15k, Circuit Court.  Depending on what the management contract (and perhaps the lease itself) says, you may be able to hold the management company liable.  I’d make an appointment with a litigation attorney sooner rather than later.  This forum is a little complicated to discuss all of the ins and outs of a possible suit, but, on these facts, looks like your answer is going to be in the courts....

Yes. There is a Florida Statute 817 that provides that any rental property not returned or paid for on demand is evidence of your intent to setal it. They have to provide you a written demand generally. Not sure why you put a rental TV in shop, but you probabaly should get it out and return it.... Read More
