Business Litigation

Business disputes are inevitable. There are simply too many business interactions and transactions occurring in the life of your business to expect that no dispute will ever arise. When disputes do arise, you want experienced business litigators to sit down with you and discuss a strategy that considers risk management, loss mitigation, budgetary concerns, and your overall goals. Older, Lundy, Alvarez, Koch & Martino business lawyers work toward efficient and effective resolution at the earliest stages to resolve breach of contract disputes, business torts, corporate disputes and other business litigation matters.

Estate and Probate

It’s never too early to start estate planning, but if you wait too long, you can find the courts making decisions for you that you wouldn’t make yourself, whether it be imposing a guardianship over your health care or financial affairs, or deciding how to distribute your property to your family members. We take the time to sit down with you and create the estate plan that you want, including a will, trusts, powers of attorney and advance directives that let you decide what happens to you and your estate. Our Florida probate lawyers also handle complicated estate administration matters, helping executors and administrators with the difficult tasks of giving effect to wills and trusts under Florida law in a timely and accurate manner.

No matter your size, Older, Lundy, Alvarez, Koch & Martino is your outside general counsel, providing advice and technical assistance on day-to-day matters as well as the most significant transactions, investments or litigation. We provide comprehensive support, negotiating, drafting and reviewing contracts and policies that keep you in compliance and meet your Tampa business needs and goals.

We are at your side during any IRS audit or investigation, providing knowledgeable advice and interfacing on your behalf with federal agents as needed. We work to release tax liens and levies and provide representation in tax litigation at the state or federal level. Whether dealing with payroll tax withholding issues, self-employment tax or other complicated matters, our knowledgeable and experienced tax attorneys are here for you with sound advice and effective assistance.

Real Estate

You invest too much time, money and effort in locating that perfect piece of property or lining up that perfect buyer to watch your deal fall apart due to some technical error or misstep along the way. The Tampa real estate lawyers at Older, Lundy, Alvarez, Koch & Martino can help you with residential or commercial purchase, sale or lease, from title searches and surveys and negotiating the terms of a transaction, to drawing up documents and representing you at closing. Our comprehensive real property practice can advise you on any matter from easements to water rights and more. When disputes arise, we provide strong, effective representation for buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, investors, developers, contractors, lenders and other parties to complex Tampa real estate matters.

Personal Injury

If you’re injured because of the negligence of another, it makes sense that the responsible party should be held accountable to you for the harm they have caused. Justice demands it. Unfortunately, the insurance companies responsible to pay your damages don’t make it easy. They contradict the evidence of your injury and dispute the facts of the accident, and they try to reduce or eliminate their payout by claiming that your own negligence is to blame.

Our experienced personal injury lawyers know how to build and present a strong case for the full amount of your loss, including your medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other legal damages. We aren’t intimidated by insurance company defense tactics, and if we can’t get you a fair and just settlement, we aren’t afraid to take your case to trial, which is exactly where the insurance companies don’t want to be. Call Older, Lundy, Alvarez, Koch & Martino after a Pasco County auto accident, motorcycle accident, or slip and fall.
