Whatever language they speak: the full ranking of securities lawyers in Coral Gables.
Working with a Spanish-speaking lawyer
You can discuss your case, documents and fees directly in Spanish, but court hearings and filings in Florida are in English.
- Ask whether the lawyer will speak with you in Spanish personally or through bilingual staff.
- Ask for the fee agreement and key letters in Spanish as well as English, so you know exactly what you sign.
- When a witness cannot understand or speak English well enough, the judge has a qualified interpreter sworn in (section 90.606, Florida Statutes).
Florida rules to know
A Florida securities claim must be filed within 2 years after the investor discovered, or should have discovered, the facts, and never more than 5 years after the violation (Fla. Stat. § 95.11(5)(f)).
| Rule | What it means |
|---|---|
| Fraud in securities sales | Fraud, untrue statements or misleading omissions in connection with the offer, sale or purchase of a security or investment are unlawful (Fla. Stat. § 517.301(1)) |
| Unregistered securities and sellers | A sale of an unregistered, non-exempt security, or by an unregistered dealer or associated person, may be rescinded by the buyer (§§ 517.07, 517.12, 517.211(1)) |
| Rescission or damages | The buyer recovers the price plus interest at the legal rate if they still own the security, or the loss if they have sold it (§ 517.211(4) and (5)) |
| Attorney fees | The court shall award reasonable attorney fees to the prevailing party unless that would be unjust (§ 517.211(7)) |
| Florida deadline | 2 years from discovery of the facts, but not more than 5 years from the violation (§ 95.11(5)(f)) |
| Federal fraud deadline | A federal securities fraud claim must be brought by the earlier of 2 years after discovery or 5 years after the violation (28 U.S.C. § 1658(b)) |
| FINRA arbitration | A claim against a brokerage firm is not eligible for FINRA arbitration once 6 years have passed since the event (FINRA Rule 12206(a)) |
| Court | Where cases are heard |
|---|---|
| State court circuit | Miami-Dade County is in Florida's Eleventh Judicial Circuit |
How to choose among these lawyers
Confirm the license, ask who will handle your matter, and get the fee terms in writing before you sign.

Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to bring a securities claim in Florida?
Within 2 years after you discovered, or with due diligence should have discovered, the facts, and no later than 5 years after the violation (section 95.11(5)(f)). Federal securities fraud claims follow the same 2-year and 5-year limits (28 U.S.C. § 1658(b)).
Can I get my money back if a broker sold me an unregistered investment?
Often yes. A sale of an unregistered, non-exempt security, or by an unregistered dealer, may be rescinded: you recover what you paid plus interest, less income received, if you still own it (section 517.211). The right is lost if you refuse a written repurchase offer for 30 days.
Do I have to go to court or arbitration against my brokerage firm?
Most brokerage account agreements require FINRA arbitration. A claim is not eligible for FINRA arbitration after 6 years from the event (FINRA Rule 12206), and a dismissal on that ground does not stop you from going to court.
Who pays the lawyer in a Florida securities case?
In an action under section 517.211, the court shall award reasonable attorney fees to the prevailing party unless that would be unjust. Investor lawyers often work on contingency.
Which court handles cases in Coral Gables?
State court cases in Miami-Dade County are heard in Florida's Eleventh Judicial Circuit.
How do I know a lawyer really speaks Spanish?
Every lawyer here lists Spanish on their Florida Bar profile, which LexRanked checked in November 2026. Ask at the first call whether the lawyer will handle your matter in Spanish personally.
Will my court hearing be in Spanish?
No. Court proceedings in Florida are held in English. When a witness cannot understand or speak English well enough, the judge has a qualified interpreter sworn in (section 90.606, Florida Statutes).
