​

Civil litigation can create significant financial, operational, and reputational risk for businesses, professionals, property owners, and individuals. Biazzo Law represents clients throughout South Florida — including Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie Counties — in business disputes, real estate litigation, breach of contract claims, emergency injunctions, constitutional matters, and appellate-sensitive litigation in Florida state and federal courts.

​

The firm's approach is shaped by its appellate practice: every case is developed with the record, the deadlines, and the possibility of appellate review in mind from the outset — not treated as an afterthought if the case is lost at trial.

​

South Florida Courts We Practice Before

 

Where a case is filed affects deadlines, motion practice, discovery, and appellate procedure, so venue matters from the first filing. Biazzo Law represents clients before:

​

Miami-Dade County — the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court, and appeals to Florida's Third District Court of Appeal.

​

Broward County — the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit Court, and appeals to Florida's Fourth District Court of Appeal.

​

Palm Beach County — the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court, with courthouse locations including West Palm Beach, Delray Beach, and Palm Beach Gardens, and appeals to Florida's Fourth District Court of Appeal.

​

St. Lucie and Martin Counties — the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit Court, and appeals to Florida's Fourth District Court of Appeal.

​

Federal matters — the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, which maintains courthouses in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach, with appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

​

Because South Florida's circuits feed into two different District Courts of Appeal — the Third DCA for Miami-Dade, and the Fourth DCA for Broward, Palm Beach, St. Lucie, and Martin — a case's appellate posture can differ meaningfully depending on where it's filed. Biazzo Law accounts for this from the beginning of a matter, not only if an appeal becomes necessary.

​

Business and Commercial Litigation

 

Business disputes can disrupt operations, damage relationships, and create substantial financial exposure quickly. Biazzo Law represents South Florida businesses, owners, and professionals in:

​

• Breach of contract and enforcement disputes

• Partnership and shareholder conflicts

• Fiduciary duty claims

• Business torts and unfair competition claims

• Commercial lease disputes

• Emergency business injunctions

• Complex commercial motion practice

 

South Florida's concentration of closely held businesses, real estate investment, and cross-border commerce means many disputes involve multiple parties, overlapping contracts, or assets and witnesses in more than one jurisdiction. The firm builds litigation strategy around this complexity from the outset — evaluating collectability, forum, and settlement leverage alongside the merits.

​

Real Estate Litigation

 

South Florida's real estate market generates a steady volume of disputes involving purchase agreements, title issues, landlord-tenant conflicts, and commercial lease enforcement. Biazzo Law handles:

​

• Commercial and residential real estate disputes

• Commercial lease enforcement and defense

• Landlord-tenant litigation, including eviction and rent-determination proceedings

• Title and boundary disputes

• Construction and development-related disputes

 

Corey J. Biazzo served as appellate counsel in Hallandale Plaza, LLC v. New Tropical Car Wash, LLC, a reported Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal decision addressing a commercial eviction, a rent-determination hearing under Fla. Stat. § 83.232, and related due process issues — experience that directly informs how the firm approaches South Florida commercial real estate disputes at both the trial and appellate level.

​

Emergency Injunctions and Urgent Litigation

 

Some disputes require immediate court intervention to prevent irreparable harm — before there is time for a full evidentiary trial. Biazzo Law assists with:

​

• Temporary restraining orders

• Preliminary and permanent injunctions

• Expedited motions and emergency hearings

• Emergency business and property disputes

• Emergency constitutional relief

 

Florida emergency proceedings move on compressed timelines with strict evidentiary and procedural requirements. Emergency relief is never automatic — courts weigh likelihood of success, irreparable injury, the balance of hardships, and the public interest — so these matters require immediate, disciplined preparation rather than a standard litigation timeline.

​

Constitutional and Government Litigation

 

Biazzo Law represents clients in constitutional and government-related litigation throughout South Florida, including:

​

• Due process claims

• Constitutional challenges to government action

• Public records and government transparency disputes

• Administrative law challenges

 

This work is closely connected to the firm's broader constitutional and appellate practice, including its participation as amicus curiae in multiple recent U.S. Supreme Court matters.

​

Complex Motion Practice and Trial Support

 

Many litigation outcomes are decided before trial — in a motion to dismiss, a summary judgment ruling, or a discovery dispute. Biazzo Law assists clients and litigation teams with:

​

• Motions to dismiss and jurisdictional challenges

• Summary judgment motions

• Evidentiary and discovery motions

• Post-trial and post-judgment motions

• Appellate preservation throughout trial

 

The firm can serve as lead counsel, co-counsel, or focused motion and appellate-preservation counsel for cases where existing trial counsel wants additional support on a specific issue.

​

Common Situations That Bring Clients to Biazzo Law

 

A business relationship has broken down. Partners, shareholders, members, or executives disagree over control, payment, authority, or fiduciary duties.

​

A contract dispute threatens financial or operational harm. A client needs to enforce a contract, defend against a breach claim, or protect an ongoing business relationship.

​

Emergency court action is needed. A situation requires a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or expedited hearing to prevent immediate harm.

​

A lawsuit has been filed or threatened. Early strategy affects pleadings, discovery, motion practice, negotiation posture, and appellate preservation later in the case.

​

A real estate or lease dispute has escalated. A landlord, tenant, buyer, seller, or property owner needs to enforce or defend rights under a lease or purchase agreement.

​

The case may later be appealed. Trial court proceedings are handled with the appellate record in mind from the start — preserving objections, developing evidence, and obtaining clear rulings.

​

Businesses, property owners, and professionals throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie Counties choose Biazzo Law for a litigation approach informed directly by U.S. Supreme Court and federal appellate advocacy experience. That means:

​

• Candid case evaluation — including collectability, cost, and realistic likelihood of success — before recommending litigation

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Does Biazzo Law handle civil litigation throughout South Florida, or only in one county?

 

Biazzo Law represents clients in civil litigation matters throughout South Florida, including Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, St. Lucie, and Martin Counties, in both state and federal court.

​

What is the difference between civil litigation and business litigation?

 

Civil litigation is the broader category of non-criminal legal disputes. Business litigation is one type of civil litigation, involving companies, owners, shareholders, partners, contracts, and commercial relationships.

​

Do all civil cases go to trial?

 

No. Many South Florida civil cases resolve through settlement, mediation, or motion practice. Preparing as though the case will go to trial — and hold up on appeal — typically strengthens a client's position even in cases that ultimately settle.

​

Can Biazzo Law help with an emergency injunction in South Florida?

 

Yes, subject to availability and the specific facts and timeline involved. The firm assists with temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, and expedited emergency motions in Florida state and federal courts.

​

Does Biazzo Law represent clients in federal court in the Southern District of Florida?

 

Yes. The firm handles federal civil litigation, constitutional claims, and appellate-sensitive matters in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida and before the Eleventh Circuit.

​

Why does appellate experience matter for a trial-level civil litigation matter?

 

Appellate courts generally review only the record made in the trial court. If an issue isn't properly raised, objected to, and ruled on, it may be difficult or impossible to raise on appeal later. Biazzo Law's appellate background shapes how the firm builds the trial-court record from the beginning of a case.

​

Can Biazzo Law work alongside my existing attorney? Yes. The firm can serve as co-counsel, motion counsel, or appellate-preservation counsel supporting existing trial counsel on a specific issue, in addition to full representation.
