Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Two questions:

1) Can a defendant deny a plaintiff’s notice of dismissal without prediduce.

2) Our lease allowed prevailing party to receive fees but if we don’t get to trial how do we recover? Without going to court we have no opportunity to collect our attorney fees as our lawyer failed to file a plea to recover them?
