Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

I attended a PRE-TRAIL CONFERENCE in Small Claims Court on a landlord-tenant issue. The defendent did not show, but was represented by an attorney. The attorney asked the judge for time to do discovery and request documents from me. I agreed to the discovery and the judge scheduled another PRE-TRAIL CONFERNECE for 90 days out. I then received a letter from the defendant's attorney asking that I produce items I intend to use at trail. The judge said that the attorney would also have to provide me the same discovery. How do I make the request to produce to the attorney? Is there a format I can use to request the items without having an attorney? If so, am I required to file this document at the courthouse after sending to the attorney?

You're fighting in a venue at a disadvantage. Your competitor knows the rules and is using him to his advantage. Delay, delay, delay.....the longer the proceedings go on, the longer his client stays presumably rent-free.

You should not be handling this on your own. Consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
