The focus of the Stayton Law Group is on commercial, business, and construction law. 

We have experience in representing a wide variety of clients in many types of disputes. In the construction industry, these include payment disputes, purchase and sale agreements, indemnity claims, labor issues, insurance coverage, licensing complaints, and professional negligence.  Our preference is to avoid litigation whenever possible by exploring opportunities for early resolution through mediation, arbitration, or informal settlement. But once litigation becomes necessary, we work hard to achieve the best outcome for our clients.

We have successfully tried cases in county, civil and federal courts throughout the state of Florida. When the need for formal dispute resolution arises, I have the skills and experience to effectively represent clients in the courtroom and before arbitration panels.

The construction industry in Florida is a dynamic and often difficult environment. The economic climate, regulatory issues and payment problems are only a few examples of the challenges that must be faced every day. General contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, sureties, owners and architects and engineers must be aware of the legal issues that impact their businesses or property.

Rapid change often brings unforeseen pitfalls, problems and mistakes. Completion of a project on schedule and on budget is becoming more difficult. This is why we provide clients with ready access to legal advice on many and varied issues.

Do you know anyone who has been sued for foreclosure? Are they afraid of losing their home? If so, and if they want to keep their home and equity in it, hiring an attorney may be the best solution. It may allow the owners the time needed to make serious decisions.  Under Florida law, if rights were compromised during the creation of a mortgage contract, or if the mortgage lenders and servicers cannot prove their right to enforce the note and mortgage, an owner may be entitled to seek relief, whether it is a negotiation for reduced payments, reduction or deferral of principal, forgiven debt, or other solutions depending on the unique situation.  Hiring the right lawyer may mean the difference between keeping the home or not.

Because the lender hires attorneys to pursue its foreclosure cases, it is important for any homeowner who is facing foreclosure to hire an attorney to defend their interests. Lenders are often much more willing to negotiate after an attorney advises them of the violations that may be found within a mortgage contract.

We can help distressed homeowners preserve their rights and lead an aggressive foreclosure defense.  Call to speak with an attorney who can assess your situation.
