Probate – The term “probate” is used in connection with the process of administering a decedent’s estate. In Florida, the probate court has jurisdiction over both probate and guardianship matters. Our civil litigation attorney represents clients involved in disputes over the legitimacy of a will, trust, or power of attorney, the administration of an estate or trust, or the appointment of a guardian or conservator.

Slip and Fall Injuries
We represent injured people against liable parties in premises liability lawsuits. Property owners have a duty to take reasonable measures to keep their premises safe for guests, visitors, and patrons. When a property owner fails to address preventable hazards and a slip and fall accident occurs, the property owner is liable to the injured party for his failure to keep the premises safe. Injuries from falls can be life-altering and victims of slip and fall accidents deserve compensation to help them get the medical treatment that they need.
