Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

Re: Wrongly removed Electris meter

Take your bills and go down to meet with the FPL person to have them explain to you why they believe the meter was not accurate. You'll need to see if the explanation makes sense or not. It is tough to sue over $5000 so you may end up in small claims court by yourself.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

You will need to find an expert in this field who can provide you with the steps necessary to prove your point. Perhaps, a former employee of FP&L who is now in a private business or an electrical engineer can provide the necessary information. You may then need to retain counsel to file suit against FP&L to recover the monies paid.
