The Law Offices of Robert McCaffery, P.A. is based in Miami, Florida. Our commitment to creative problem-solving can lead to innovative solutions that save our clients money and help them preserve valuable business relationships.
The firm routinely handles several types of disputes and cases:
- Agricultural Issues (including PACA issues)
- Criminal Defense
- Civil Litigation, including Intellectual Property issues
Our Agricultural practice focuses on the fresh produce industry and the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA). The firm routinely handles situations involving PACA inspections, PACA administrative complaints, lawsuits and injunctions brought pursuant to the PACA, Bluebook complaints, non-payment or late payment of invoices, fraud, business torts, and other related matters. We have proceeded in actions before administrative judges, arbitrators, and state and federal courts.
We can also help you avoid future difficulties by making sure your business is PACA compliant. (It is surprising how many businesses needlessly give up strong protection under the law because they are using outdated forms and information.) Additionally, the firm can draft, review and negotiate Fresh Produce Industry agreements between growers, packers, importers, sales agents, shippers, carriers, trucker brokers, suppliers, and purchasers. Think of it as insurance – you don’t buy it after the problem, you get it in advance and it saves you money in the long run.
Our Criminal Defense practice ranges from Florida state prosecutions of misdemeanors and felonies to complex white collar situations that implicate multi-national exposure to the client.
Our Civil Litigation practice is varied. Both inside and outside of the Agricultural sphere, the firm has handled routine and complex business disputes, intellectual property claims and defenses, and contract negotiations.
Don’t wait until a dispute arises to reach out to us.
