Xavier Franco and a team of MPF attorneys filed two separate lawsuits and successfully obtained full payment for approximately $200,000 of restaurant equipment sold by MPF’s client in Canada to a South Florida restaurant franchise. MPF attorneys leveraged their knowledge of Florida lien law to impose a lien not only on the buyer’s leasehold interest in the restaurant space but also the landlord’s fee interest in the underlying property. This ensured that MPF’s client would participate in the global settlement with the landlord, and allowed the firm to secure a complete recovery for the client.
