From alligators and oranges to Walt Disney World and Universal, living in Florida is definitely unique! We have more golf courses than any other state and approximately 1,000 people move to Florida every day!
The rules and procedures of Florida law are also unique, and that is why it is important to hire a paralegal with Florida experience to assist your Florida firm!
The Florida court system is comprised of the Supreme Court, six district courts of appeal, 20 circuit courts and 67 county courts. The Florida Constitution also establishes that there is ONE county court in each of Florida’s 67 counties. Each layer of the Florida judicial system has a distinct role in providing justice across the state.
In addition to the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure, Florida Probate Rules, Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, and Florida Family Law Rules of Procedures, Florida also has unique filing and scheduling systems, including the Florida ePortal, CourtMap, JACS, JAWS, CMS (17th district), and more.
Attorney Services’ virtual paralegals are based in Florida, not overseas or in other states. This is important because it means we are specifically experienced with Florida law and familiar with Florida processes and rules of procedure.
Additionally, by hiring Opulent instead of a national or west coast company, you are helping to keep money in your community and strengthening the Florida economy.
Hiring Opulent Landholdings’ Attorney Services ensures that your assistant has experience in Florida and is familiar with Florida laws, regulations, filing systems, and customs, making it easier to conduct business and bring in new business.
