Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

False claim of contract breach and property seizure.

I was making payments to a partner by leaving checks with the accountant in our office. He was very clear where they were and was making arrangements to pick them up monthly. One month he tried to make me in breach and didnt make arrangements to get check. He subsequently siezed my stock (which was the security) and recently auctioned it off. He had a note he was paying me on as well and also security agreement associated with the note and contract called for those payments to end when either one breached (which I clearly didnt) but I got locked out of office, stock sold etc...and lawyers I have hired seem to be uncertain of course of action. They are going to pursue course of seizing his stock, saying he breached by stopping my payments etc. However they dont seem very certain of course of action. They also have considered pursuing civil theft law suit too. I would like to know if anyone else has any ideas? All the facts are on my side but not sure how to proceed...

Re: False claim of contract breach and property seizure.

You have a lawyer who has investigated the facts and causes of action. There is no way anyone else can second guess that lawyer based on a parargaph summary. If you are unsure about your lawyer, discuss with him/her the option of getting a second opinion.
