FAQ - Civil Lawsuits in Florida

What to Expect and How to Prepare

  • How long does a civil lawsuit take?

    Timelines vary with complexity and court calendars; many cases resolve in months, while others require a year or more. Early strategy and efficient discovery can shorten the path. We'll set expectations after reviewing your facts.

  • What does it cost to litigate?

    Costs depend on attorney time, discovery, experts, and motion practice. We focus on budget-conscious planning and discuss billing structures up front. You'll get regular updates so there are no surprises.

  • Do most cases settle or go to trial?

    Most cases settle after discovery clarifies strengths and risks. We prepare as if we'll try the case-because readiness drives better settlements and courtroom outcomes. Your goals guide every decision point.

  • Can a no-contest clause stop challenges in Florida?

    Florida generally does not enforce "no-contest" clauses in wills and trusts. That means a clause threatening to cut someone out for challenging is typically ineffective here. Your strategy should focus on evidence, not fear of a clause.
