What If Someone Guaranteed the Business Debt?

Chapter 725, Florida Statutes, addresses written promises to answer for another person's debt. Our contract enforcement page covers enforcing personal and corporate guarantees.
What If I Have a Judgment but Still Have Not Been Paid?
A judgment does not collect itself. Law Offices of Aaron Resnick represents business creditors pursuing unpaid judgments and reviews the judgment, prior payments and available asset information. Our judgment collection page covers that separate stage. Bring any bankruptcy notice or pending court date to the review.
Should I Send a Demand Before Filing Suit?
A written demand is required for some remedies. For a bounced check, chapter 68, Florida Statutes, requires a written demand before the added civil damages are available. Attorney Aaron Resnick reads the agreement for notice terms, then decides what the demand asks for and when. Our demand letter discussion explains that decision.
Which Court and Deadlines Matter?
The claim and amount determine the court. Small claims rules cover eligible county court claims up to $8,000; money claims generally use county court up to $50,000 and circuit court above that, excluding interest, costs and attorney fees. Chapter 95 distinguishes written and oral contract periods; Law Offices of Aaron Resnick checks the court and deadline.
What Should I Send Aaron First?
Identify who owes the money, what the payment was for, what remains unpaid and the next date that matters. Attorney Aaron Resnick reviews that outline before requesting the agreement, check, note or judgment through a secure channel. Include any lawsuit, hearing or bankruptcy notice in your description.
Keep full bank account numbers and complete check images out of the initial inquiry. Sending an inquiry does not create representation.
Send the parties, the problem and the next date; the firm reviews every inquiry and tells you whether it can help.
