Why Local Counsel Matters in St. Augustine
Practicing law in Florida. Legal matters in Florida are governed by state-specific rules of civil and criminal procedure, statutes of limitations, and substantive law. Cases originating in St. Augustine are typically filed in the local municipal court or the appropriate Florida state district court, depending on subject matter and amount in controversy.
