Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

My partner and I have been named in a suit, even though my spouse never had anything to do with a highly aggressive client seeks maximum investment and trading returns at any cost. Never notifed, they appear to delayed the short trial

(agreement only allows arbritration by the way) for 5 months into the future. Why?

Not sure. However, likely filing for bankruptcy regardless of verdict (weak case for plaintiffs, enjoyed 100% gains twice in first half of 2008, then lost a good amount

with the crash due to aggressive investments and plaintiffs attempt to buy more at a short-term bottom to only loss more latter against my advice. Why would the adversary attorney delay with almost no likelihood of collecting anyting?

If you want specific legal advice regarding your case, you should consult with an attorney. Regards,
