Business Litigation Attorney South Florida
Practical, Strategic Legal Representation for Contract Disputes, Construction Conflicts, and Commercial Litigation
Resolving Business Disputes with Strategic Advocacy
Business disputes don’t wait, and neither should you. Whether you’re dealing with a breach of contract, construction defect, partnership disagreement, or unpaid accounts, you need an attorney who understands both the law and the practical realities of running a business.
My approach is direct, efficient, and focused on finding practical solutions. I evaluate every business dispute with the same question: what outcome are we trying to achieve, and what’s the smartest path to get there? Sometimes that means negotiating hard before the other side realizes where they’re exposed. Sometimes it means taking cases to trial when that’s what’s required. Either way, you’ll always know where things stand and what we’re doing next..
Trial-Ready Representation: With courtroom experience from my time as a prosecutor and years of business litigation practice, I’m fully prepared to take your case to trial if necessary. But I also know when negotiation serves you better than protracted litigation.

How I Approach Business Litigation
Business litigation isn’t just about knowing the law, it’s about understanding what you’re trying to achieve and whether litigation serves that goal. I bring a practical, results-focused approach to every case.
Does Litigation Make Business Sense?
Before we file anything, we ask: is this dispute worth the time, cost, and energy of litigation? Sometimes the answer is yes—when your business interests, contractual rights, or financial recovery demand it. Sometimes the answer is no, and a negotiated resolution or strategic settlement makes more sense. I’ll give you honest advice about your options.
Courtroom-Ready When Necessary
My trial experience as a former prosecutor means I’m completely comfortable in court. If litigation is the right path, I’m prepared to take your case to trial and fight for your interests. I handle discovery, depositions, motions, and trials with the same strategic mindset I brought to the courtroom as a prosecutor.
Direct Communication, Clear Strategy
You won’t get vague legal jargon or surprise bills. You’ll get straight answers about:
- What your case is worth
- What it will cost to pursue
- What your realistic options are
- What the risks and benefits of each option look like
- What we’re doing next and why
Focus on Resolution, Not Billable Hours
I don’t bill for the sake of billing. Every action I take is aimed at moving your case toward resolution—whether that’s through negotiation, mediation, or trial. You’ll always know what you’re paying for and why it matters to your case.
Frequently Asked Questions About Business Litigation
How much does business litigation cost?
Costs vary based on case complexity, whether it settles or goes to trial, and the amount in dispute. I provide transparent pricing and discuss fee structures during your consultation. Some cases are handled on hourly rates, others on flat fees or contingency arrangements depending on the circumstances.
How long does a business dispute take to resolve?
Timeline depends on complexity and the other party’s willingness to negotiate. Some disputes settle in weeks through negotiation. Others require months of litigation. I’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
Should I try to resolve this without a lawyer?
It depends. Simple payment disputes or minor contract disagreements might be resolved directly. But when significant money is at stake, contracts are complex, or the other side has legal representation, having an experienced attorney protects your interests and often leads to better outcomes.
What if I don't have a written contract?
You may still have legal options. Oral contracts can be enforceable, and Florida law recognizes implied contracts and quantum meruit claims. I’ll review your situation to determine what legal remedies are available.
Can you help prevent disputes before they happen?
Yes. I draft and review contracts to protect your business interests and minimize future disputes. Clear, well-drafted agreements prevent many problems before they start.
