Florida rules to know

Florida law lets a consumer harmed by an unfair or deceptive business practice recover actual damages plus attorney fees, and a consumer harassed by a debt collector can recover up to $1,000 in extra statutory damages.

Rule What it means
Unfair and deceptive practices Unfair or deceptive acts in trade or commerce are unlawful under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (Fla. Stat. § 501.204)
Consumer remedies A person who suffered a loss may recover actual damages, plus attorney fees and court costs (§ 501.211(2))

How to choose among these lawyers

  1. Look up the lawyer in The Florida Bar's directory and check the bar number shown on their LexRanked profile.
  2. Ask whether the lawyer you meet will handle your matter personally, and how many matters like yours they have handled recently.
  3. Ask how they charge and what costs are extra, and get the agreement in writing.
  4. If you prefer to work in another language, check the languages listed on each profile.
