Frequently asked questions

What is fraud in the inducement?

It occurs when one party makes a false statement of fact, knowing it is false, to get the other party to act on it, and the other party is harmed by relying on it.

Why add a civil conspiracy claim?

Civil conspiracy can make each participant in a scheme responsible for the acts of the others, which matters when a scheme uses relatives, LLCs, or cooperating agents.

How long do I have to file a fraud claim in Florida?

Florida generally provides four years for fraud claims, with rules about when the period begins. Speak with an attorney promptly about your specific dates.
