Family Law

We understand that going through a divorce is often an extremely difficult time in a person’s life. There are so many possible ramifications, both emotional and financial. Issues such as whether one spouse will be found to owe the other spouse alimony, what will happen with the children, how much child support will be expected, and how the property and debts will be divided may make the process seem overwhelming. And that is before wondering what the tax consequences may be and how it may affect any retirement plans you have made.

Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation proceeding. The Debtor turns over all non-exempt property to the bankruptcy trustee, who then converts it to cash for distribution to the creditors.

In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you provide the court a list of all of your debts and a list of everything you own. You also answer questions about your past financial dealings. You can claim as exempt the property you are allowed by law. This property you may keep. The trustee has the right to liquidate any property that cannot be claimed as exempt and then apply the cash to your debts.

Creditor Harassment

Creditor harassment is the use of abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices by a debt collector. Abusive debt collection practices contribute to the number of personal bankruptcies filed each year.

Worker's Compensation

For Worker's Compensation, Jodat Law Group no longer handles these matters in-house and will refer you to other law firms that may represent you. The worker’s compensation system in the State of Florida provides for compensation and medical benefits to injured workers under certain circumstances. Basically, an injured worker must be acting in the course and scope of his or her employment at the time of the injury, regardless of who was at fault. Most employers are required by law to maintain workers’ compensation insurance. Unfortunately, over the years the state legislature has limited and restricted the benefits for injured workers. It is now more important then ever for individuals that are injured on the job to seek out competent aggressive attorneys to protect their legal rights and to make certain that every benefit under law is provided.
