Rudy D. February 13, 2024
Honesty, Integrity, a Zealous Advocate Charles Baron did a superior job representing me and my neighbors in a heavily-litigated land use & zoning case against Miami-Dade County and a developer. The County had approved a high-rise medical building that would have towered over our single-family homes. Our pleas to change the plan to protect our property values and privacy were ignored. We knew we needed the help of a great litigator and turned to Charles after seeing his track record of prevailing in similar cases. He filed lawsuits challenging the County's approval on several legal grounds, including under-estimating the traffic impact and conflict with the County Master Plan. The developer hired a "top-gun" large Miami law firm. Charles was cleaning their clock at trial, causing the Judge, in the middle of trial, to say, "I strongly suggest that the parties try to get this case settled, RIGHT NOW!" The developer then gave in and changed the plan to a low-rise that would fit our neighborhood. I highly recommend and trust Charles!

Q. I left the scene of an accident due to my wife's medical health emergency. Now the FL police are calling for for me
A: Leaving the scene of an accident due to an emergency is understandable, but you may have a situation that called for promptly initiating contact with the police as soon as feasible to explain the problem. Now that you failed to do so, you might be charged with a crime (and possibly arrested) with the police saying your defense of having an emergency will be up to the Court. I strongly recommend that you consult a lawyer before contacting the police.
Q. Neighbor has a fence with a gate that allows him to enter our property. Needing advice about this. Many thanks.
A: First, entering your property through your private back yard without consent is the crime of trespass, for which you can contact the police. Perhaps the police would at least have a talk with the neighbor to warn him to not do it again or else. Otherwise, you can hire an attorney to send a cease & desist letter, which is also basically a warning not to do it again, or else. Most people, upon receiving a letter, refrain from again engaging in the offensive conduct, but if the conduct were to continue, legal action can be taken to seek a court injunction against the trespassing.

Regarding your question about forcing your neighbor to place a lock on his gate, the answer is no (absent a court order to do so). Of course, you can simply fence off (on your side) the portion of his fence that has the gate, either with just a fence or your own gate that you can lock. ... Read More
Q. Loss usage of property
A: "We can't get the judge to do a restraining order..." Was your mother represented by a lawyer in seeking such an order? If not, schedule a consultation with a lawyer in your area and start from scratch. If she did have a lawyer, any lawyer you consult with would have to review what that lawyer did and what happened in the case. Aside from the nuisances and harassment from the neighbors, you also raise possible issues of realtor negligence or fraud and seller fraud - for which your mother needs to consult a lawyer in her area who handles real estate disputes. She or you can try the Find a Lawyer tab at the top of this page or contact the Fla. Bar Lawyer Referral Service.
