Questions about hiring a Miami civil attorney? We've answered the most common ones below. For questions specific to your case, call us at (786) 306-7278 — the consultation is always free.
What does a Miami civil attorney do?
A Miami civil attorney represents individuals and businesses in non-criminal legal disputes — including personal injury claims, car accidents, property damage, contract disputes, foreclosure defense, wrongful death, and civil litigation in Florida state and federal courts. At Miami Civil Attorneys, we handle 18+ practice areas for clients throughout Miami-Dade County.
How do I know if I need a civil attorney in Miami?
You likely need a Miami civil attorney if you've been injured in an accident, your insurance claim was denied, you're facing foreclosure, someone owes you money, you've been served legal papers, or you're involved in any dispute where money or legal rights are at stake. When in doubt, our free consultation lets you get a professional legal opinion at no cost or obligation.
How much does a civil attorney in Miami cost?
Our fee structure depends on the type of case and is discussed in detail during your free consultation. We believe quality legal representation should be accessible to everyone in Miami. Contact us to learn more about your options.
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Miami?
After a Miami car accident, seek medical attention, document the scene if it is safe, exchange contact and insurance information, and report the crash as required. Avoid speculating about fault, and preserve relevant records. Legal deadlines depend on the facts and can change; speak with a Florida attorney promptly about your situation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?
Deadlines vary by claim type, when the event occurred, and other case-specific factors. Florida changed some limitations periods in 2023, and exceptions may apply. Because missing a deadline can affect your rights, consult a Florida attorney promptly rather than relying on a general timeline.
Can a Miami foreclosure defense attorney save my home?
Yes, in many cases a skilled Miami foreclosure defense attorney can stop or significantly delay foreclosure proceedings, buy time to negotiate a loan modification, arrange a short sale, or uncover procedural errors by the lender that can be challenged in court. The sooner you contact a foreclosure defense attorney in Miami, the more options you have. We offer free consultations to review your situation.
What is civil litigation and how does it work in Florida?
Civil litigation is the legal process of resolving non-criminal disputes between parties through the Florida court system. It typically begins with filing a complaint, followed by discovery (gathering evidence), potential mediation or settlement negotiations, and if necessary, a trial. Our Miami civil litigation attorneys represent clients in Miami-Dade County courts, Florida circuit courts, and federal courts — from initial filing through appeals.
Do you serve clients outside the city of Miami?
Yes. We serve clients throughout Miami-Dade County including Coral Gables, Hialeah, Doral, Kendall, Miami Beach, North Miami, Aventura, Homestead, Cutler Bay, Palmetto Bay, Key Biscayne, and surrounding communities. We are licensed in Florida and Washington, D.C., and handle matters across the state. Call (786) 306-7278 for a free consultation regardless of where you're located.
