Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

ore details:

I have an ongoing civil lawsuit that I need advice n please.

I was served 30th June. I immediately responded and filed a defense as well as my intent to counterclaim.

I heard nothing until end of october, when I received a letter stating plaintiff was ready for jury trial, nothing in between no depositions, not questions, no evidence, nothing, just the complaint and then letter saying ready for trial. I simply assumed they realized I had a strong defense and gave up, obviously I was wrong.

So I thin raced around and filed an interrogatory with plaintiff and a motion with the court 9that may not have been needed) asking for more time and asking them to compel plaintiff to answer interrogatories. Court denied the motion but stated EMERGENCY MOTION SHALL BE SET IN ORDINARY COURSE

My main question is, does the plaintiff still have to answer my written interrogatories (part of which ask to see the evidence against me and details of any witnesses) or is it too late

Really impossible to assist you without seeing the paperwork. Not sure what was denied and what motion will be set in the ordinary course. You really need to consult with an attorney with your paperwork.

Mr Stein is correct - it's impossible for anyone to give you an answer. You need to consult with an attorney face to face with all the paperwork, and you need to do it as soon as possible.
