How do I file a civil theft suit in FL? Do I need an atty?
My horses have been stolen. I know by who--but, how can I get a judge to order him to return them?
My 3 horses & I moved in w/him as roommates. I paid rent. W/in 2 mths, he was arrested for battery on me. I moved out w/agreement that horses would follow. I received a letter from his attorney telling me to remove the horses by a certain date or he would sell them for ''boarding fees.'' The horses were never ''boarded'' there & I supported them in meantime. I arrived on the date before time listed. No horses on property. He ordered me off property yelling ''I was not allowed to be there; the horses were on 40acres somewhere--I'd never see them again; and,talk to his atty!'' After mths I got reply from his atty saying he ''thought client had sold them.''
These horses are a registered/owned in my name only.
Also, I have not been able to retrieve 95% of my life's possessions which are there. I moved out w/only my immed needs. Unable to speak w/him, cant retrieve possessions.
Please help me!!!!

You can file a civil action without a lawyer. However, I would recommend using a lawyer in your situation.
