Ask a Question
What counts as wrongful termination in Florida?

Florida is an at-will employment state, which means employers can generally terminate employees for any reason. However, wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired for an illegal reason, such as discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, national origin, or religion, or in retaliation for protected activities like filing a workers’ compensation claim, whistleblowing, or taking FMLA leave.

How long do I have to file an employment claim?

Deadlines vary depending on the type of claim. For EEOC (federal) discrimination claims, you generally have 180-300 days from the discriminatory act. Florida Civil Rights Act claims may have different timelines. It’s critical to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your rights.

Do I need to pay anything upfront for an employment case?

In most employment cases, we work on a contingency fee basis – meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is always free.

What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

Chapter 7 (liquidation) eliminates most unsecured debts like credit cards and medical bills, typically within 4-6 months. Chapter 13 (reorganization) allows you to keep your assets while repaying debts over a 3-5 year plan. The right choice depends on your income, assets, and financial goals.

Will bankruptcy stop creditor calls and wage garnishments?

Yes. The moment you file for bankruptcy, the “automatic stay” goes into effect, which immediately stops most collection actions, including creditor calls, wage garnishments, lawsuits, and even foreclosures, while your case is pending.
