FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about finding and working with Florida lawyers.

How much does a lawyer cost in Florida?
Many Florida lawyers work on contingency for personal injury cases (typically 33-40%). For other matters, hourly rates range from $200-$450 depending on experience and location. Miami and Orlando attorneys tend to charge more than those in smaller cities. Free consultations are widely available across the state.
What is the statute of limitations in Florida?
Florida's statute of limitations varies: Personal Injury - 2 years (changed from 4 years in 2023), Medical Malpractice - 2 years, Written Contracts - 5 years, Property Damage - 4 years, Wrongful Death - 2 years, Product Liability - 4 years. It's crucial to consult an attorney promptly to preserve your rights.
Is Florida a no-fault divorce state?
Yes, Florida is a no-fault divorce state. The only ground needed is that the marriage is 'irretrievably broken.' Florida is also an equitable distribution state, meaning marital assets are divided fairly (but not necessarily equally) in divorce proceedings.
What is Florida's no-fault auto insurance law?
Florida requires all drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage of at least $10,000. This means your own insurance pays for your medical expenses after an accident, regardless of who was at fault. You can only sue the other driver if your injuries exceed the PIP limit or meet the 'serious injury' threshold.
How do I choose the right lawyer in Florida?
Consider experience in your specific case type, knowledge of Florida courts and local rules, client reviews and testimonials, communication style, and fee structure. For specialized matters like elder law, immigration, or maritime law, seek attorneys with relevant expertise. Our network includes verified attorneys across all 55 Florida cities who offer free initial consultations.
