Types of Cases Our Trial Attorneys Handle for Orlando Clients
Litigation is a broad term generally used to refer to any type of legal dispute or controversy that requires court proceedings. Disagreements can arise in areas ranging from personal matters and civil rights to business partnerships and real estate deals.
Our law firm can handle all of the following legal situations:
Business Litigation
Whether you run a small business, a franchise location, or your own corporation, legal disputes are an unfortunate reality you may encounter during the course of your professional endeavors.
Many legal matters fall under the broad category of business litigation. What may seem like a straightforward matter may end up overlapping into areas such as estate planning, banking, or real estate. That is why hiring a law firm like ours, which has experience in a broad range of legal matters, can benefit you.
Our legal team includes:
- Orlando business litigation lawyers who protect you in the event of lawsuits, audits, or tax disputes
- Orlando employment and labor lawyers who can help you settle employment issues involving discrimination, harassment, and breach of contract or NDAs
- Orlando corporation and partnership lawyers who handle cases involving shareholder disputes and issues of ownership or acquisition
- Orlando copyright enforcement and litigation lawyers who take legal action against anyone who has infringed on your trademarked or copyrighted property
Civil Litigation
Civil litigation occurs when two parties seek resolution to a dispute in a non-criminal matter. Types of civil litigation include (but are not limited to):
- Personal injury resulting from accidents or malpractice
- Family law, to include custody matters and contested divorces
- Education law
- Product liability
Civil litigation does not refer to only the trial portion of the process but also the pre-trial, investigation, discovery, pleadings, settlement, and appeal. Because of this, civil litigation cases may take months or even years.
The Orlando civil litigation lawyers at Bogin, Munns & Munns can manage your entire case, no matter how long it takes, and make sure you understand your legal rights.
Construction Litigation
Bogin, Munns & Munns represents property owners, general contractors, and subcontractors who find themselves dealing with legal disputes like:
- Design errors and omissions
- Scheduling disputes
- Property line disputes
- Mechanic’s liens
- Construction delays
- Construction defects
- Contract or payment disputes
You got into the construction business to build and repair structures, not spend your time dealing with legal matters. Our Orlando construction litigation lawyers provide businesses in Central Florida with innovative, comprehensive representation at a fair price so you can stay focused on your true interests.
Criminal Defense Litigation
Have you been accused of a crime? You are entitled to legal representation. Our Orlando criminal defense lawyers can work with you to decide how you can best respond to the charges, build a defense strong enough to introduce doubt as to the reliability of the prosecution’s case, and ask for a reduction or dismissal of charges or negotiate a plea deal.
Our legal team defends Orlando residents accused of:
- Theft
- Drug possession
- Weapons possession
- Driving under the influence
- Traffic violations
Fraud Litigation
There are many different kinds of fraud, including but not limited to:
- Identity theft, when a person’s identity is used by another party to commit various types of additional fraud
- Pyramid schemes, when investors’ money is used to pay victims who have already entered into the scheme and where investors are encouraged to recruit more unwitting victims
- Email fraud, where tactics like spoofing and phishing are used to source personal information
- Mail fraud, where personal information is sourced through fraudulent mail that appears to come from a legitimate source
If you believe you are the victim of fraud or know of fraudulent activity taking place, call the proper authorities. Then, get in touch with our Orlando fraud lawyers. We can litigate your case to help you get justice and prevent the liable party from hurting anyone else.
Insurance Litigation
When accidents happen, and disaster strikes, insurance is the silver lining many people depend on to get back on their feet. Unfortunately, insurance companies do not always come through for their policyholders. In these situations, it may be necessary to bring a lawsuit against the insurance company.
Suing a large insurer may seem like an impossible task, but with our Orlando insurance litigation lawyers at your side, you can more easily confront challenges caused by bad-faith practices like:
- The insurer denying that your policy covers the situation for which you are seeking compensation
- Ambiguous wording that gives the insurer an opening to refuse coverage
- Lack of communication from the insurer
- Refusal to negotiate
- Unnecessarily delayed payments
- Unjustified cancellation of your policy
- Failure to disclose critical information
Probate Litigation
When a loved one passes away, you want to do everything possible to respect their final wishes and settle their affairs in a timely manner. If disagreements or confusion arise, the Orlando probate litigation lawyers from Bogin, Munns & Munns can help you contend with:
- An unclear will or no will at all
- A will that you or someone else believes to be invalid
- Disputes over custody of dependents or minor children
- Disputes concerning trustees

What if Your Orlando Trial does Not End How You Want It to?
If litigation does not go your way initially, we can consider whether filing an appeal might be a good idea.
Appeals are not limited to court proceedings but are available, under limited circumstances, for decisions made by administrative agencies and boards of city and county governments. Typical grounds to appeal could include errors of law, procedure, or fact. If there is competent, substantial evidence to support a determination of fact, that fact will be binding on the parties.
Legal errors that our attorneys in Orlando can submit to an appeals court include:
- Whether the lower court misapplied the law to the facts when drawing its conclusion
- Whether there was a misinterpretation of the law in determining whether a party met their obligations to prove the necessary elements to establish a claim or defense
- Whether the proper remedy was provided to the prevailing party
- Whether, in the event of a jury trial, the jury was properly instructed
There are strict deadlines for filing an appeal, so we recommend talking to our Orlando litigation law firm as soon as you can.
What Court Will Your Orlando Case End Up In?
There are several courts that serve the Orlando area. The court that hears your case will depend on what kind of legal action you bring (e.g., criminal vs. civil action) and how much money your case is worth. For example:
- Orange County Civil Court handles civil cases worth up to $50,000.
- Circuit Civil Court handles civil cases worth more than $50,000.
- If you are accused of a felony, your criminal defense case must go through the Orange County Courthouse. Misdemeanor charges may be heard in a variety of different courts.
- If you disagree with a county court’s decision and want to file an appeal, your case will most likely go to the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court located here in Orlando.
Each court follows its own procedures concerning fees, paperwork, and so on. Bogin, Munns & Munns has served Central Florida for decades. We are very familiar with the regional court system and can guide you through it with no mistakes and as little stress as possible.
