Seek Legal Guidance for a Business Issue

Many Florida business owners come to us for guidance on matters involving breach of contract, unfair competition, trade secrets, partnership dissolutions, and more. For example, a breach of contract can arise when one party to the agreement fails to perform its obligations. In such an instance, the non-breaching party can typically take legal action against the breaching party. The usual remedy consists of monetary damages, although in some unusual situations a court can issue an injunction ordering the breaching party to perform its obligations as stated in the agreement. The types of damages the non-breaching party can recover will depend on the contract in question and the extent to which it has been violated.

Unfair competition or trade secrets issues usually arise when someone who works for a company or a competing entity engages in wrongful conduct that undermines its profitability. While most businesses require their employees to sign non-disclosure agreements, individuals sometimes will divulge information that they knew or should have known was confidential, like client lists or data on the operation of the business. When this happens, the company that suffered from this conduct can bring a claim for misappropriation.

At times, unfortunately, a business does not maintain its profitability, whether because of internal or external factors. Its owners may consider filing for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the federal Bankruptcy Code. We understand that both debtors and creditors have important rights in these situations, and our ability to see the two sides of these disputes allows us to represent either of them with care and zeal.

Beyond assisting business clients in disputes or bankruptcy filings, we also have accumulated significant experience in securing and preserving immigration status for non-citizens. With rigorous attention to detail, we can guide companies and individuals through the challenging paperwork needed to apply for a business visa or a green card. Moreover, non-citizens living in this country sometimes will face the serious threat of removal, or deportation, under one or more provisions of the labyrinthine immigration laws. Our lawyers can help assist them at this potentially life-changing crossroads, constructing the most persuasive case possible for why they should be allowed to stay in the United States.
Sensitive Representation in Family Law Matters

Assisting many individuals going through the dissolution of a marriage, we are knowledgeable in divorce proceedings, custody cases, paternity suits, and disputes regarding support and visitation. Florida is a "no-fault" divorce state, which means that its residents do not need to allege a spouse's wrongdoing as the cause of a divorce. In most cases, the grounds for ending a marriage are irreconcilable differences. However, the respective conduct of each spouse during the marriage may be considered by the court when it comes to dividing property and awarding alimony, or spousal support.

In determining custody arrangements, courts will look to the best interests of the child. Generally, this means dividing his or her time with each parent, or physical custody, in a relatively even way as long as this is practically feasible and there are no issues of substance addiction or domestic abuse. Legal custody is also usually divided evenly between the former spouses when possible. This refers to the right to make important decisions regarding the child's upbringing, such as those involving education, religion, and medical treatment.
