Can you help with residential and commercial evictions?
The firm represents landlords and property owners in both residential and commercial matters. Choose the property type in the intake and describe the issue. The resource library keeps the two categories separate so you can find the right starting point.
What should I do when a tenant stops paying rent?
Start with the current lease and a reconciled ledger. Use the notice guide for your property type, and provide any payments or communications received after the default. The residential and commercial guides explain different notice frameworks.
Do you serve Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade?
These counties are a focus of this resource center. The firm’s published website describes statewide eviction representation. Use the county pages for local clerk links and select the actual property county in your intake.
How long will my eviction take?
There is no single timetable for every case. Notice, service, tenant filings, registry issues, court scheduling, and execution can affect the sequence. The roadmap explains the stages without promising a completion date.
Can I use the tools to calculate a notice deadline?
The tools organize documents and perform simple accounting. They do not calculate legal deadlines or determine which charges may be demanded as rent. Use the relevant guide and have the facts reviewed.
Can I change the locks if rent is unpaid?
The residential self-help guide explains statutory restrictions on access, utilities, and tenant property. Unpaid rent does not by itself authorize a lockout. Review the actual possession status before changing access.
What if someone occupies the property without a written lease?
The absence of a written lease does not determine the correct claim. The possession guide explains why the occupancy history, payments, and any claimed ownership matter when reviewing eviction, unlawful detainer, or ejectment.
How do I get my matter reviewed?
Submit the brief intake or call 561.699.0399. Identify any approaching deadline. Please keep sensitive documents out of the web form and request an appropriate document-transfer method during follow-up.
