Frequently asked questions
How do I find an SCRA lawyer in Florida?
Free first: the installation legal assistance office, and the Department of Justice for SCRA complaints. For a private lawyer, this page lists every attorney and firm a Florida court named as counsel in a published decision citing the Act (6 of 17 decisions name counsel, January 27, 2006 to January 9, 2026, across 3 courts). Check bar standing and ask what SCRA matters they have handled since; a listing is a court record, not a recommendation.
Can I bring an SCRA claim myself in Florida?
Yes. 50 U.S.C. § 4042 gives a private right of action with damages and attorney's fees, and 0 of the Florida decisions here involved a party without a lawyer. Fee-shifting is why SCRA plaintiffs' lawyers often take strong cases on contingency.
