Legal Question in Construction Law in Florida
Hi, I recently had a case against a contractor where he placed a construction lien on my house, and sued me for a remainder of the contract of $3000 he was considered the prevailing party on all points. There is now a motion for attorneys fees of $5000, will he receive the amount he is asking for? it exceeds the amount of the whole dispute...is this possible...
Thank you,
Sean D.

In short, if his attorney can show that is the cost and fees associated with their time on the case, yes FL Statutes allows the attorney of the prevailing party to collect fees and cost. Does not matter the amount in dispute.
