- Q. How to respond to unlawful detainer in FL without prior notice?
- A: Unlawful detainer and eviction are 2 similar but completely different causes of action. In an eviction, you are required to be given notice. There is no notice in an unlawful eviction action. A small claims action on your part is absolutely incorrect. I urge you to seek an attorney's help immediately, as an attorney can look at your lease and determine the proper response.
- Q. Am I responsible for entire judgment if co-tenant is missing?
- A: You and your co-judgment debtor are each responsible for 100% of the judgment amount. if the other guy can't be found, refuses to pay, etc., its all on you. Landlord's attorney is 100% correct.
- Q. Seeking advice on appealing a 3M earplug lawsuit dismissal in Florida
- A: There is only one step - retain an appellate attorney NOW. Appellate work is quite different than trial work and there is literally no room for error. Most attorneys do not handle appellate work for that very reason - it is much different than trial work and its a completely different skill set. An appellate attorney will be able to tell you what is needed, if you have time to appeal, etc. Be forewarned - appellate work is not inexpensive. The other step is to become intimately familiar with the Florida rules of appellate procedure (available online). This will be a time-consuming task - hire an attorney.
