FLORIDA CLERGY ABUSE ATTORNEYS
Florida Business Attorneys provides representation to victims of clergy abuse, including children
and adults who have been molested by priests, pastors, or others who held a position of trust.
Because of the nature of these cases, representation includes confidential pre-suit negotiations
where possible, and if these are unsuccessful, filing suit for physical harm and mental anguish.
Our firm also provides representation to other victims of crime, including those injured due to
inadequate security, drunk driving accident victims where alcohol was negligently served, and
other instances of assault or violence which could have been prevented by persons in a position of
responsibility. We use the same case handling techniques to resolve these matters pre-suit if
possible, but stand ready to take appropriate cases to trial.

is filed. We do so by drafting employer policies and procedures and employee handbooks;
providing employer-sponsored seminars and workshops on discrimination and harassment
policies; drafting non-compete and confidentiality/non-disclosure agreements; defending
unemployment claims and EEOC complaints; and defending FLSA claims.

2. ERISA Attorneys
Florida Business Attorneys ERISA is the acronym for the federal Employment Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, the primary law governing employment benefits litigation. If you have a
claim for disability, medical or other types of benefits and you received your benefits through your
employment, most likely your claim is covered by ERISA.
The most common type of ERISA case our firm handles is a claim for long-term disability
benefits. These cases are filled with pitfalls that can derail an otherwise meritorious claim. These
pitfalls can be avoided or at least dealt with provided you contact an attorney early in the process.
Another type of case we handle is a suit for recovery of unpaid medical benefits. A frequent
variation on this theme is a claim that an employer has failed to provide appropriate COBRA
notices.
We are also happy to review potential cases involving inappropriate investments or other pensionrelated irregularities. On occasion we have reviewed claims that an employer terminated an
employee that was about to vest in a pension to avoid such vesting.
