Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida
Can a nonlawyer representative represent a party in a Small Claims Action if they are provided with written authority from the party to settle without further consultation? Florida Small Claims Rule 7.090(f) seems to suggest that the answer to this question is yes. Please advise. Thank you.

I agree that the Rule you cite states that you may have a person represent you, and settle your case with the opposing party.
That person may not give you legal advice (if they are not an attorney), but can clearly act on your behalf, with written authorization.
