  Contingent Fees In certain types of lawsuits—such as personal injury, collections and auto damages—the lawyer who represents the person suing may agree to accept a part of the money the client recovers as the fee for services. Such an arrangement is called a contingent fee. Under the lawyer's ethics rules, the lawyer and client must enter into a written fee agreement at the outset of the representation, stating what portion of the recovery the lawyer will receive. The fee is generally fixed at a percentage of the recovery. An additional percentage may be added if the matter is tried again or appealed to a higher court. In a contingency fee contract, you and your lawyer agree that the lawyer will not get paid any fees unless you win your case.

Q. what does uninsured motorist coverage cover exactly?

September 10, 2023

A: Typically, uninsured motorist coverage in Florida will pay economic and non-economic damages resulting from bodily injuries sustained in a motor vehicle collision when the defendant/tortfeasor's insurance is insufficient or nonexistent. Examples would include medical bills, lost wages, paying & suffering, among others. Retaining an attorney is always a good idea, so please find a qualified professional in your area for a more detailed explanation.

Q. I was staying at my long time friends home. He got upset with me chanved locks n kep all my personal items and CAT!

May 31, 2018

A: This may be both a criminal and civil matter. In Florida, there are generally no "self-help" evictions. If your pet or belongings are also being held without your permission, a crime may have been committed. It is wise to report this to a local law enforcement agency and contact a landlord-tenant attorney to preserve your rights.
