Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida
llc law
I recently had construction work completed in my home by a contractor whom I later found out is a llc. Is a llc required by law to use the llc designation in conjunction with their name for the consumer's benefit? If so, are they required to use the designation in all cases of use of their name, advetrtisements, etc. Is there any recourse for a consumer negatively affected by negligence by the llc?
Thank you, Fred

Re: llc law
An LLC is a entity recognized by the laws of Florida. When formed the organization must have LLC, or some similar designation as defined by Florida Statute, at the end of its name. The owner can always file for a fictitious name of the company lacking the letters LLC and do business in that manner.
If an LLC is negligent it may be sued as can any other company.
