Default Yes You need a Florida Lawyer

p.s. Yes, I could just go see a lawyer- but this is a question/answer forum and if a lawyer answers my question I'll be ahead.
I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV.
Florida has very specific laws and you will need a Florida lawyer to deal with the court.
Decide if you want to save a few dollars or have effective protection.
I used Patrick Smith of Fruitland Park.
