Jacksonville, Florida, United States
I was a business consultant and Entrepreneur for many years. During this time I had many attorneys and often felt that they certainly knew the law but often did not understand my business. About 8 years ago through my business efforts, I was in a place and time in my life where I could take some time off. I was always curious about the law and made the decision to attend law school. The first law practice I joined was not a fit for me. When I left I wanted to have a law firm that understood business and had a common sense approach to all forms of law The Affinity Law Firm was founded and immediately merged with the Law Office of Millie Kanyar. A strong partnership was formed that relied strongly on technology, business models, and an "affinity" for the law. In a short time another partner joined, Graham Syfert, and we have not stopped growing. Affinity Law now handles many types of law but has not forgot the basics that client service is number one. From the sound of our name you will find our approach to law refreshing. I hope that if you have read this far you will give us your enough trust to come in and see us and we will earn your trust. - Gust Sarris

Jacksonville Dentist Class action Lawsuit - What is the statute of limitations?

What is the statute of limitations as it pertains to a Dental Issue such as Dr. Howard Schneider? Statute of Limitations questions are seldom black or white. If you sign a contract you know what the date is and clearly can count how many years it has been. Some cases are not so clear. For instance if a surgeon left an instrument in you it could be many years before you even discover it. In Florida this statute of limitations is usually two years. The question we must resolve is from when. It is generally the date when you knew or should have known you had an issue. Thus it could be 20 years later when you realize you have an injury. These questions are very complex and as recently as April of 2015 a judge had to decide if one of my client’s had waited too long before hiring my services. Even a great attorney may struggle to determine when the statute is up. Don’t guess when – see a qualified attorney!
