Florida Surplus & Unclaimed Funds Attorney

Is Florida holding money that belongs to you?

If a lender foreclosed on a property, a county sold it for unpaid taxes, or an old account went dormant, there may be money waiting for you — held by a Florida clerk of court or the State of Florida. We find it, verify it, and file for it as your attorneys.

No fee unless we recover money for you. Licensed Florida attorney — Bar No. 55551.

How It Works

Four steps, start to finish

01

Free case review

Tell us about your notice or situation. A licensed attorney reviews it — there's no cost and no obligation to move forward.

02

We verify the claim

We confirm the funds exist with the clerk of court or the State of Florida, and identify exactly which process applies before you sign anything.

03

We file and represent you

We prepare the required filings and represent you directly with the clerk of court or the State of Florida, so you don't have to appear or handle the paperwork.

04

Funds are disbursed

Once funds are released, your share is disbursed to you. There's nothing owed if we don't recover anything.

How We Get Paid

Plain terms, no surprises

We know this space attracts non-attorney "recovery companies" that Florida courts are actively scrutinizing for hidden fees and pressure tactics. Here's exactly how we work instead.

  • We work on contingency — there is no fee unless we recover money for you.
  • No upfront costs, ever.
  • Your fee is set out in writing before you sign anything, and depends on which type of claim applies to you.
  • You are never required to hire an attorney or any other representative to pursue these claims yourself.

Required Disclosure

You're never required to hire us

You are never required to hire an attorney or any other representative to pursue any of these claims. You can file directly with the clerk of court or the Florida Department of Financial Services yourself, at no cost. We explain this because we'd rather you make an informed choice than feel pressured into one.

Adam represents Florida property owners and claimants directly — as their attorney, not as an assignee of their claim. That distinction matters: it means you keep control of your case and your funds are never signed over to someone else.
