Given that not all Florida Courts have resumed jury trials due to COVID-19, the attorneys at Rywant Alvarez Jones Russo Guyton, P.A., have been actively participating in many types of alternative dispute resolution methods.

Partner, John Guyton, successfully obtained an arbitration judgment in favor of his client. In the case at issue, the Claimant asserted claims for violations of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (“FDUTPA”), Magnuson Moss Warranty Act Implied, Magnuson Warranty Act Express, Revocation of Acceptance Magnuson Moss Warranty Act, and Breach of Contract.  The Arbitrator found that the Claimant failed to provide any evidence to support her claims and found in full favor of the Respondent.

Final Arbitration Award

We are pleased to announce that Melissa Isabel obtained a dismissal in favor of our client.  After three years of contentious litigation, Melissa was able to brief and successfully argue the Plaintiff had committed and perpetuated a fraud on the court.  The trial court granted the motion a month prior to the scheduled jury trial.
