I can't even say I faced this firm in court, because no one from their firm even showed up to the mediation hearing. An attorney from their firm was on premises and requested to change to an over the phone mediation hearing with an attorney at the firm. In good faith I agreed. The otp attorney stated he had no authority to settle the account for anything less than the full amount. The court ordered summons to mediation specifically stated both parties or reps from both parties must be present, and that rep must have authority to settle between $0 to the full amount. They followed neither in Broward County Civil court. The judge should have dismissed but didn't. The on-site attorney stated he would reach out to me to settle, he didn't. Fast forward 2 yrs... an Affidavit of Amount due was filed with a bogus COS stating a copy was mailed to me, it wasn't. Judgment was brought against me before having a chance to fight it because I never knew it was being filed. I tried calling to settle but was told they have no authority to do so on behalf of their plaintiff... ie... meaning they never did which is against the civil proceedings rules of the Florida courts. Unless you have the $ to file appeals and motions, don't take anything they say at face value, they lie and thumb their nose at the court, and unfortunately the court doesn't care.
