Q. What can I do after losing a civil slip and fall appeal without a trial in Florida?
A: There is no trial in an appeal. An appeal is not a second trial or a chance to introduce evidence. Unless your case presents novel theories under Florida law, it's a slim bet that the Florida Supreme Court would take your case. The only way for you to know is to retain an appellate attorney. If the Florida Supreme Court doesn't take your case, you are at the end of the road.
Q. Do I have to disclose evidence before a civil trial in Florida magistrate court?
A: There is no such thing as a Florida "magistrate court". Your case was referred by the judge in your case to his or her magistrate.

You were most likely sent a Case Management Order. It will be docketed, so you can look it up online. You must follow the requirements of the Case Management Order, but you are not required to do more than what's required in the Order. So, just as an example, let's suppose your CMO requires you to provide the other party a list of Exhibits that you are going to use at trial. You must do that. A list, however, does not mean that you are required to provide the actual document. However, you may be required to meet with opposing counsel and mark for identification your exhibits and provide them to him, and he to you. In that case, the answer is Yes, you must disclose your evidence. Again, follow the CMO to the letter. ... Read More
Q. Co-signer auto loan: borrower missed 14 payments, I'm paying. Legal options?
A: Legal action as far as who? You have no recourse against the lender. You may have a legal recourse against the other borrower if, as a general rule of contract law, you can prove there was an agreement between you two that the other borrower would be responsible for the payments and would hold you harmless. However, it's possible that there is a state statute or state common law that sidelines the general rule I mentioned. Consult a local attorney.
