Business Litigation Matters

Commercial Litigation in Florida State and Federal Court

Michael H. Moody Law represents businesses, creditors, trustees, and high-net-worth individuals in commercial litigation matters throughout Florida. The firm handles contract disputes, business divorces, shareholder and partnership disputes, creditor rights actions, fraudulent transfer claims, enforcement of judgments, and cross-border collections in Florida state courts and in the United States District Courts for the Northern, Middle, and Southern Districts of Florida.

Experience That Matches the Other Side

Before opening his own firm, Michael H. Moody spent seven years at Greenberg Traurig and four years at Berger Singerman, handling complex commercial litigation, cross-border collections, and bankruptcy-adjacent disputes for institutional clients. That background means Tallahassee business owners get representation prepared to meet large-firm opposing counsel on equal footing, without the overhead and layered billing that come with a large firm structure.

Matters the Firm Handles

Typical engagements include breach of contract actions, business tort claims, disputes among owners of closely held companies, enforcement of promissory notes and guarantees, judgment collection and post-judgment discovery, proceedings supplementary under Florida Statutes Chapter 56, fraudulent transfer litigation under Florida’s Uniform Voidable Transactions Act, and creditor representation in bankruptcy adversary proceedings. The firm also represents parties in disputes that overlap with estate planning, asset protection, and bankruptcy matters, where an integrated view of the client’s full legal picture matters.

A Practical Approach to Every Case

Every commercial dispute is evaluated against the client’s actual goals: recover a debt, protect an ownership interest, end a relationship cleanly, defend a claim, or preserve a deal. That means an honest early assessment of cost, exposure, and the realistic range of outcomes, followed by a written plan for how the case will move forward. When settlement is the right answer, the firm works toward it directly. When litigation is unavoidable, the case is prepared and tried that way from day one.

Direct Attorney Access

Clients work directly with Michael H. Moody throughout the matter. Calls and emails are returned by the attorney handling the case, not routed through layers of associates and paralegals.

Related Practice Areas

Commercial disputes frequently intersect with bankruptcy. Defendants facing a judgment or enforcement action should evaluate Chapter 11, Subchapter V, or business bankruptcy options. Individual principals may need Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 relief. Clients facing creditor exposure should plan ahead with Florida asset protection and integrated estate planning.
