Aggressive Florida Attorneys Getting You the Compensation You Deserve
At Feldman, Fox & Morgado, P.A., we will serve as your trusted legal team. Our civil litigation practice focuses on the following areas:
- Overtime employer/employee: The law will decide whether an employee is entitled to overtime wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Designation by an Employer of an Employee as "salaried" does not exempt an employee or make this person ineligible for overtime wages. Our attorneys will apply the law to the facts of each employee at issue related to overtime wage claims and provide you with the legal guidance necessary to make the right decision on whether overtime wages should be paid. Contact us for a consultation.
- Employment agreement disputes: At Feldman, Fox & Morgado, P.A., we recognize the complexity of noncompete and nonsolicitation contracts, bringing years of experience to your case.
- Wrongful termination: Florida does not recognize a generic "wrongful termination" legal cause of action. Whether the termination of an employee can subject the employer to consequences and damages under the law depends upon many factors involved, and the true or real reasons for termination or the adverse employment action. If there is an underlying reason for this adverse employment decision contrary to the asserted reasons, there may be a cause of action for discrimination or a whistleblower claim. In some cases when an employee has an employment agreement or contract, there can be competing claims for breach of contract. We will explore all options and provide you with the solid legal analysis and strategies so that you can make an informed decision on whether litigation is the best course of action.
- Whistleblower claims: An employer engaging in illegal acts only makes matters worse by firing or retaliating against an employee who rightfully reports such acts or voices objections to going along with such activity. If an employee objects or refuses to go along with the actions of the employer that violate a law, rule or regulation, that employee may have the right to file suit for past and future compensation, in addition to recovery of attorney's fees as a result of the termination or adverse employment decision. We will aggressively investigate the facts of any termination related to a whistleblower claim or wrongful termination and provide you the advice on how to best protect your interests and enforce your rights.
- Real estate deposit and investment recovery: If you are seeking to recover a deposit and investment in a piece of real estate or real property, we will fight to recover the money you are entitled to under the law. We can review the contract to advise you of your rights and the likelihood for recovery through the court system. Real property contracts are often poorly written and subject to challenge under the law. Know your rights and your options; be informed and contact us.
- Real estate contract disputes: Purchasers and sellers of real estate or real property need protection when a real estate transaction ends up in a heated dispute. We put our experience and a thorough knowledge of real estate contract law to work for our clients. With your money at stake, you need a team of experienced lawyers on your side.
- Real estate fraud: If you have purchased real estate or real property and subsequently it is revealed there are hidden defects or other misrepresentations by the other party, you should hire a team of experienced lawyers to represent your interests. You may be able to recover damages from the seller. You may not know or realize that actionable fraud has been committed until the matter is investigated. We will get to the heart of any alleged concealment or false statements.
- Business contract litigation: Swift and strategic legal action is often necessary to avoid losses for your business. In many instances, the loss of revenues, clients or customers, or even loss of key employees may entitle you to damages under State or Federal law. You may need an injunction if a former employee is stealing customers or employees, or a customer is refusing to pay. Time is of the essence. Your business’s livelihood could be at stake.
- Tortious interference: If a competitor is using unscrupulous tactics to prevent you from obtaining new clients or using subversive strategies to drive your clients away, we will work to hold them accountable and to recover all damages under the law. Businesses have rights as well. When the loss of substantial revenues or the existence of the business is at stake, time is of the essence to contact experienced attorneys like Feldman, Fox & Morgado. Tortious interference occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or business relationships. This tort is includes 2 categories: one specific to contractual relationships (regardless of whether they involve business), and the other specific to business relationships or activities (regardless of whether they involve a contract).
