Florida Contracts Legal Questions

You can sue him in small claims court. Call the small claims court and get the paperwork forms to complete. If the amount is over the jurisdictional maximum, you can sue in small claims court up to that limit or if you want to sue for more, you will have to sue in county court.   ... Read More

You will need to retain a lawyer, at some expense, to review what you signed and the circumstances and work with you to figure out what options you have. There is no "YOU" doing anything at this point as you can already see the results of your "self lawyering" and there is no reason to expect you to make better choices to fix this issue. ...

Your rights revolve around the terms of the treatment plan and any agreements you entered into. Most of the time patients are provided estimates not a guaranteed rate. The issue with the lab going out of business may or may not be the responsibility of the dentist, again, depending on the exact situation. By example, if the lab went belly up and the new lab charges more is different than if the old lad went belly up and didn't deliver what was already paid for. You will need to retain a lawyer to start sorting this out. ... Read More

When an offer is made and the recipient modifies any of its terms before returning it to the original offeror, such a response is considered a counteroffer rather than an acceptance. The issuance of a counteroffer effectively revokes the initial offer, preventing the original offeror from accepting the terms as originally proposed.  ... Read More

No way to answer this in an internet blurb. You mother will need to hire a lawyer to address this directly. As a general rule, with electronic signatures, a later refutation by a family member is not going to get far - quite simply because elderly people make such transactions routinely and its equally routine that later, when family members find out and disagree with the elders decision, they level all kinds of claims of lack or permission, lack of authority, lack of capacity etc and it becomes a significant and often difficult to prove squabble if there is a controversy. ...

You will need to retain a lawyer to review your contracts in detail. Such repairs are usually subject to a construction lien and simply declaring that the contractor abandoned the job and keeping the material is likely to be a problem. Oherwise you run the risk of a lawsuit and a foreclosure action. ... Read More

Not sure what you are trying to "win". If you got her to retract the charge without litigation, its hard to imagine "damages" you would be suing for since you already accomplished the remedy. If you have questions about your lease or its handling by the PM, you would be best off retaining a landlord/tenant lawyer to review the situation and go from there since you will have to deal with them for the duration of the lease. ...

There is no real cost effective means to address this for a variety of reasons. Lawsuits and court is the MOST expensive and highest risk means of all. You may want to hire plumber to examine the issue and provide a formal report as to what the problem is - so that you can use that - rather than complaints and opinions to address this with the LL, as its much more effective....

Under Fla. Stat. 319, the starting point is that the ONLY ownership interest recognized in a motor vehicle is recorded title interest. That said, the owner of the vehicle listed on the title owns the vehicle regardless of who paid what. You will need to retain a lawyer to address this with the EX and possibly sue her for damages. That said, it might be more cost effective it give her the truck back if you have no legal interest in it and if you are not liable for payment to the lender. At that point it becomes her responsibility to pay the remaining payments. You can address the details with a lawyer of your choice.... Read More

Not sure what the question is as opposed to simply voicing a complaint. You're best bet is to retain a real estate lawyer to review your situation and direct any inquiry to them. This is likely the fact that your "overpayment" established the value of the property for taxes. The neighbor may be grandfathered in with a lower tax base. ... Read More

No way to answer such a question without ALL of the details involved including what the obligations of the PM were. That said is rare that a PM will agree to be financially responsible for cleaning and repairs as that essentially places them in the defacto position of a "subletter" and can result in a zero or negative profit situation depending on the property and tenant. Here it seems you indicate that the PM was somehow obligated to pay for the repairs, etc. as opposed to pass the info on to you for you to pay for them. I point this out because some of what you describe might be a financial wash......You will likely need to retain a lawyer to address this properly which might not be viable for a $3-4k dispute. For furture reference  - this is EXACTLY why written contracts are so important. ... Read More

No way to tell without reviewing the contract terms or policies of the facility. Many "registration fees" for such facilities are non-refundable for (a) to cover admin costs and (b) to deter parents from reserving one spot and then go shopping for others, leaving the facility with the expense and effort of finding another child to fill the slot. By example here, it seems the facility was provided less than 2 weeks notice and that might also be an issue. Depending on the amount at issue, it may or may not be worth the expense. ... Read More

Your post is a bit confusing as it would make no sense that your existing finance company for the the motorcycle would have a bad SSN caused by the new seller. If there is a wrong SSN on the new contract, that should be easily addressed by bringing this to the attention of the seller and the new lender for the HRV. If this continues unresolved you will likely need to spend the money to hire a lawyer and can use the find a lawyer feature for that.... Read More

There is no means to answer such a question absent actually hiring a lawyer to review the contract terms. I can honestly say I have never seen a "lifetime warranty" on a wearable/consumable mechanical product like an entire vehicle. That immediately suggest something is shady about such a warranty from the onset. You need to retain a lawyer BEFORE you do anything further. ... Read More

There should be no expectation that the case "goes smoothly" because of the situation you created. You did not have a lawyer address the tenancy nor have a lease so there is no reason to expect that doing more without a lawyer is likely to get a better result. You need to retain a landlord lawyer immediately or risk this going off the rails further and becoming an even bigger problem. ... Read More
