Direct, Practical Representation
Business disputes often become urgent when an owner is locked out, money or records are moving, a contract has been breached, a lawsuit has been served, or a transaction threatens control of a company or property. The firm begins by identifying the governing documents, immediate risks, available evidence, and the client's practical objective.
Depending on the facts, the strategy may involve negotiation, mediation, a buyout, emergency court relief, litigation, or a planned business separation. The goal is to match the legal response to what is at stake instead of treating every dispute the same way.

What to Have Ready
- Contracts, leases, operating agreements, shareholder agreements, and amendments

- A short explanation of what happened and the outcome you want
What happens when you call the Law Offices of Aaron Resnick
The first conversation is with Aaron Resnick, not with an intake screener who takes a message.
That call covers four things: what actually happened, what documents exist, whether anything is moving right now that puts a clock on the matter, and what outcome you are actually after. Most business owners arrive wanting to describe the whole history. The faster path is usually the opposite, starting with the deadline and the money, then working backward.
Before the firm can review documents, a conflict check comes first. Sending information does not create an attorney client relationship, and the firm will confirm in writing when it can look at your file.
How to tell whether you need a Miami business litigation lawyer or a business lawyer
These are two different jobs and hiring the wrong one wastes weeks.
You need a litigator when something is already in motion: you have been served, a partner has locked you out or is moving money, a contract has been breached and the other side has stopped responding, or a deadline is running. You need a business lawyer when nothing has broken yet and the job is to paper the deal, form the entity, or write the agreement that decides what happens if owners disagree later.
The Law Offices of Aaron Resnick does both, and the reason is practical rather than promotional. The firm litigates ownership and contract disputes continuously, so the agreements it drafts are written by someone who has watched that language get tested.
What a Miami business dispute typically costs to start
Business owners rarely ask this question out loud, and it is usually the real reason a page one search result never turns into a call.
The honest answer is that a business dispute is priced on what is at risk and what the other side does, not on a menu. What can be said plainly is this: the initial conversation is how you find out whether you have a matter worth pursuing, and it is far cheaper to have that conversation before you change a lock, move money, send an angry email, or sign anything. A large share of the cost in these cases is generated in the first two weeks by people acting without counsel and creating a second dispute on top of the first one.
Which courts the firm appears in
The Law Offices of Aaron Resnick is a Miami firm and the majority of its matters sit in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in Miami-Dade County, with regular work in the Seventeenth Circuit in Broward and the Fifteenth in Palm Beach, plus the federal courts in the Southern District of Florida.
Venue matters more in a business dispute than most owners expect. It is frequently written into the agreement being fought over, it changes how quickly emergency relief can be heard, and it is one of the first things worth confirming before a claim is filed rather than after.
What Aaron Resnick handles personally, and what he does not
Aaron Resnick handles business disputes for owners, partners, shareholders, investors, and companies. That includes ownership and control fights, breach of contract and commercial disputes, business fraud and fiduciary duty claims, commercial real estate and property disputes, and Florida local counsel work for firms outside the state.
It does not include personal injury, criminal defense, family law, immigration, or employee side employment claims. A firm that lists everything is telling you something, and business owners are usually better served by asking what a lawyer turns down.
Where a matter belongs somewhere else, the firm refers it out. A referral is a statement of trust from one lawyer to another and the firm treats it that way.
Why business owners choose Aaron Resnick
Aaron Resnick has practiced in Miami since 1998. He has been recognized by Super Lawyers for fourteen consecutive years, 2013 to 2026, and is a past president of the Miami Beach Bar Association. He is a fourth generation Miami Beach resident.
That last fact does more work than it appears to. Miami business disputes are frequently disputes between people who will keep running into each other, in an economy where the lender, the broker, the landlord, and the opposing partner often share a professional circle. Knowing that landscape changes what a reasonable settlement looks like and how hard a position can be pushed without costing the client something that does not show up on a docket.
Aaron knows the law. He knows both sides. And he knows Miami. That is why Miami business owners know Aaron.

Where to go next
If the dispute is about ownership or control of a company, start with partnership and shareholder disputes. If a contract has been breached and you are the one being blamed, start with breach of contract defense. If you are a firm outside Florida that needs counsel on a Florida file, start with Florida local counsel.
If a deadline is running, do not use a form.
Otherwise, request a consultation.
