Find your area below for what tenants in your city typically come to us about, and how to get help fast.

Orlando & Orange County

Home base for the firm, and the area with the highest volume of eviction filings we see. Orlando tenants most often reach out about 3-Day and 7-Day Notices, security deposit disputes, and habitability issues like mold, pests, or broken AC that a landlord won't fix.

Tampa & Hillsborough County

Tampa's rental market moves fast, and so do landlord attorneys. We represent Tampa tenants facing eviction notices, illegal lockouts, withheld deposits, and landlords who won't make repairs.

Kissimmee & Osceola County

Kissimmee's rental market includes a large share of short-term and corporate-owned properties, which often means slower, more impersonal responses when something goes wrong with repairs or a deposit. If you've received a notice, been locked out, or can't get your landlord to respond in writing, we represent Osceola County tenants the same way we represent tenants anywhere else in Central Florida — same-day response, tenant-only representation, and a clear read on your timeline before you decide your next move.

Seminole County (Sanford & Altamonte Springs)

Seminole County tenants come to us with the same core issues as the rest of Central Florida: eviction notices that don't add up, security deposits withheld past the statutory deadline, and landlords who ignore repair requests until the problem becomes a habitability issue. If you're renting in Sanford, Altamonte Springs, or anywhere else in Seminole County, the same Florida statutes and the same defenses apply — we just need to know what happened and when.

Lakeland & Polk County

Lakeland's growth has brought a wave of new landlords and property management companies to Polk County — and with it, more disputes over deposits, lease terms, and repairs. Whether you're dealing with a notice you don't understand, a landlord who won't fix a habitability problem, or a deposit that never showed up, we represent Polk County tenants with the same flat-fee, tenant-only approach used across the rest of the firm's service area.
