Landlord Tenant FAQ

A:At Rosenthal Law Group we never have paralegals or secretaries handle evictions. All work is done by attorneys.

A:At Rosenthal Law Group we exclusively handle commercial evictions. The laws are quite different. In fact, often times a residential eviction isn't even filed in the same court as a commercial eviction.

A:Once the matter is contested (i.e., any paper is filed by the tenant opposing the eviction), the so called flat fee eviction is no longer a flat fee eviction. You can expect to pay much more than originally expected since you will be charged on an hourly basis. No two lawyers charge the same per hour and certainly the hourly rate is usually commensurate with the level of experience of the attorney. However, if you assume that your eviction matter will be contested, you should ask what you will be charged per hour and consider whether you are comfortable with the experience of the attorney handling the matter at the hourly rate being charged.

A:At Rosenthal Law Group we expedite all evictions. After all, the Florida law is written specifically to make the process quick if you take advantage of the available rights and remedies. However, sending paperwork to the court by mail and letting the process work its way through the system usually is a less expensive way to handle the eviction process but inevitably delays even an uncontested eviction by many weeks. Some flat fee law firms state that the uncontested eviction could take 4-6 weeks or more to evict a tenant in an uncontested eviction. While there are never any guarantees, an uncontested eviction can be accomplished in far less time if the process is expedited. While the cost may be slightly more, time is money, and the quicker you regain possession of your premise the sooner you can re-let it and start making money.
