Business Law and Commercial Litigation

Florida Statutes provide generous remedies to companies, repair shops/garages or towing companies in recouping lien(s) for storage or repair liens, and, if not properly addressed by a title lien holder, results in the “stripping of the lien” and a windfall to the repair shop/garage or towing company.

Consequently, timing is of the essence in responding to a repair/storage lien notice.Meléndez & Klinkbeil Law Offices, P.A. is adept at asserting contest(s) on behalf of title lien holders and protecting your lien rights in the face of these claims.

More importantly, even if you discover as a title lien holder that you did not timely assert your lien rights resulting in the “stripping” of your lien, there may still be a safe harbor allowing you to recoup your lien rights through the use of a deposition de bene esse. Meléndez & Klinkbeil Law Offices, P.A. can traverse this complicated claim on your behalf and potentially even pursue conversion claim(s) when the repair shop/garage or towing company fails to properly comply with Florida Statutes in conducting a storage/repair lien sale.
