Scope and costs

Flat fee: filing through final judgment

What the representation covers

Our residential and commercial eviction representation is offered at a flat fee from filing through final judgment, including motions and hearings within that matter. No hourly billing.

The written engagement defines the matter and services covered. Tell us if you need help taking over an existing case or pursuing a separate claim.

Confirm the complete cost

Before hiring us, request a written breakdown confirming how court filing, summons, and service costs are treated. Notice preparation and posting are one separate service. Sheriff/writ work is one separate service and charge. Work beyond the agreed scope is separately confirmed in writing. A final judgment is a separate milestone from the sheriff returning possession.

What to send for a case review

  • Complete rental address, including unit number and ZIP code; landlord's legal name and tenant names.
  • Lease, renewals, and addenda, if available. Tell us if the agreement was oral.
  • Notices already delivered, together with posting or delivery dates and proof of service.
  • Available rent records showing amounts due, payments received, and any disputed charges.
  • Relevant tenant communications, photos, and housing assistance paperwork, if applicable.

Local filing information

The property address determines the Miami-Dade filing district

Miami-Dade has multiple court locations. The Clerk directs landlords to file in the geographical district where the rental property is located. Its Eviction Filing Court Location Finder uses the property's ZIP code. Send the complete street address, unit number, and ZIP code so the filing location can be checked before the complaint is prepared.

These are official court resources. They do not indicate court endorsement of FLA Evictions.

Matters we handle

Eviction services for Miami-Dade landlords

01

Nonpayment of rent

We review the lease, rent records, and notice before preparing a possession case. Tell us about any recent payment or dispute over the balance.

02

Holdover tenancies

When a tenant remains after the intended end of a tenancy, we review the lease, renewal terms, and termination notices to identify the appropriate next step.

03

Lease violations

Send the lease provision involved, communications, and available evidence. The attorney evaluates the grounds for termination and any opportunity to cure.

04

Commercial evictions

Representation for landlords of retail, office, warehouse, and other commercial space. Commercial lease and notice requirements receive a separate review.

05

Occupants without a written lease

An oral tenancy may still be a landlord-tenant relationship. The absence of a written lease alone does not establish that an unlawful detainer is the right action.

06

Contested and existing cases

Already filed, or received an answer or motion? Send the docket papers and any court deadlines. We review the posture of the case before recommending the next filing.

From document review to possession

01

Review the documents and notice

We check the parties, property, agreement, payment history, and notice. The attorney identifies what must be completed before filing.

02

File and arrange service in Miami-Dade

After applicable prerequisites are met, the complaint is filed and service is arranged. Service status and the tenant's response determine the next procedural step.

03

Seek judgment and plan enforcement

The attorney addresses responses, motions, and hearings as needed. If possession is awarded and enforcement is necessary, the writ and sheriff stage follow the court's requirements.

Miami-Dade eviction questions

How much does an eviction attorney cost in Miami-Dade County?

Our residential and commercial eviction representation is offered at a flat fee from filing through final judgment, including motions and hearings within that matter. No hourly billing. Before hiring us, request a written breakdown confirming how court filing, summons, and service costs are treated. Notice preparation and posting are one separate service. Sheriff/writ work is one separate service and charge. Work beyond the agreed scope is separately confirmed in writing. A final judgment is a separate milestone from the sheriff returning possession.

Where is my Miami-Dade eviction case filed?

A possession-only eviction is generally handled in Miami-Dade County Court. The correct geographical district depends on the rental property's location. We check the full address and ZIP code against the Clerk's filing guidance.

How long will my Miami-Dade eviction take?

Timing depends on notice requirements, service, tenant responses, court scheduling, and any required sheriff enforcement. Filing, final judgment, and return of possession are different milestones. We assess the likely next steps after reviewing your documents; no completion date is guaranteed.

What should I send if a notice has already been served?

Send the complete notice, the delivery or posting date, proof of service, and rent records with your case documents. For residential nonpayment matters, Florida law generally requires a written three-day demand, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. Other tenancy types or housing programs may involve additional requirements.

Does a tenant's answer automatically prevent eviction?

No. The attorney reviews the answer, service, and any rent-registry issue. In residential cases, section 83.60(2) addresses deposits and timely motions to determine rent, with an exception for a payment defense. A court order is still needed; we do not promise an automatic result.

What if the tenant receives Section 8 or other rental assistance?

Send the lease, assistance documents, notices, and records separating the tenant's share from subsidy payments. The attorney must review the applicable program and notice requirements. A single notice period should not be assumed for every assisted tenancy.

Can I start without a written lease or a formal ledger?

Yes, you can submit an intake for review. Explain the rental arrangement and provide available payment records and messages. Missing documents may affect what is needed before filing; an intake submission does not mean the case is ready to file.

Who handles my case and updates?
