We secured an important appellate victory for our client after the Fourth District Court of Appeal reversed a final judgment and remanded the case for further proceedings.

At the center of the appeal was a fundamental issue of Florida lien law: when a lien exists only because a statute creates it, the party seeking to enforce that lien must strictly comply with the requirements of that statute.

Representing the appellant, Eduardo A. Maura, Esq., and Luis Quesada of Ayala Law successfully challenged enforcement of a statutory lien after showing that the required statutory notice was not provided on time.

Why Strict Compliance Matters in Florida Lien Law

Liens can give businesses powerful legal rights over property, but those rights are not unlimited. In this case, the Fourth DCA emphasized that a towing-storage operator’s lien is purely statutory. Because the lien does not arise under common law, it can only be created and enforced when the requirements of the statute are followed.

The court relied on established Florida law holding that liens that are “purely creatures of statute” require strict compliance with the statutes from which they derive.

That principle has implications well beyond the particular circumstances of this case. When a business claims a statutory lien against property, the question is not simply whether the business believes it is owed money. The legal requirements for creating and enforcing the lien must also be satisfied.

Florida Lien Notice Requirements Can Determine Whether a Lien Is Enforceable

Florida Statute § 713.78 establishes requirements governing certain liens for towing and storage charges. 

Among those requirements is a notice provision requiring the towing-storage operator to provide notice to the registered owner within five business days after the vehicle is stored. The statute also provides that failing to make good-faith efforts to comply with the notice requirements can prevent storage charges from being imposed against the vehicle.

In this case, the vehicle was stored on October 16, 2024. The required notice was not sent until October 26, 2024, outside the five-business-day period required by the statute. 

The appellate court determined that this failure meant the operator had not strictly complied with the statutory notice requirements.

The Court Rejected the Idea That Notice Is Just a Technicality

The Fourth DCA made an important point: the notice requirements are mandatory, not discretionary.

The purpose of the notice is substantive. It gives a property owner the opportunity to understand that charges have been incurred, that a lien is being claimed against the property, and that the lienholder may ultimately attempt to enforce the lien through a sale if the charges remain unpaid.

In other words, statutory notice can be much more than paperwork, but a critical part of determining whether a lien can legally be enforced.

Ayala Law Successfully Obtains Reversal

Because the required notice was not timely provided, the Fourth District Court of Appeal reversed the final judgment and remanded the case for further proceedings.

For our attorneys, the decision represents another example of why careful attention to statutory requirements matters in litigation. A seemingly small procedural requirement can have significant consequences when someone’s property rights are at stake. Appellate Appellate Appellate Appellate Appellate Appellate Appellate

Attorney Eduardo A. Maura remarked, “Statutory liens carry significant legal consequences, but the right to enforce a lien comes with statutory requirements. This decision reinforces the importance of examining whether those requirements have actually been satisfied before a lien is enforced against someone’s property.”

What This Florida Lien Decision Means for Property Owners and Businesses

The decision is a useful reminder for anyone dealing with a disputed lien: do not assume that a lien is enforceable simply because another party claims one exists.

Whether a lien is valid and enforceable can depend on the statute creating it, the requirements imposed by that statute, and whether those requirements were actually followed. For businesses, property owners, investors, and others involved in disputes over property and statutory liens, these details can become central to the outcome of a case.

At Ayala Law, our litigation attorneys handle complex disputes involving property rights, liens, commercial disputes, and enforcement of legal rights. When a lien is being asserted against valuable property, understanding the statutory basis for that lien and whether the requirements were followed can make all the difference.

We are pleased to announce that attorney Julia Solivan has successfully negotiated the return of our client’s industrial truck and trailer, following a year-long litigation and extensive mediation.
The case, which may appear straightforward at first glance, included several issues related to Florida’s lien laws, as well as the proper notice and enforcement mechanisms therein. As alleged within the complaint, our clients’ vehicles, used in the transportation of fertilizer and other related products, were transported and stored by a towing company in Florida. The titles to the vehicles were eventually transferred to the towing company itself, despite, as alleged throughout the lawsuit, there being no proper notice or sale.
After several months of discovery and extensive motion practice, we were able to secure the release of the vehicles for our clients, a major win for their business operations.
Regarding the settlement, partner Ryan Sawal stated, “This was a unique situation where our clients had a priority to not only receive monetary compensation, but the return of the property at issue itself. Julia and our team’s outside-the-box thinking helped make that possible in a result that we are very satisfied with.“
Our firm regularly represents clients in complex real estate and business disputes, including partnership conflicts, property ownership disputes, operating agreement litigation, and appeals.

As alleged in the complaint, our client, a resident of the property, had parked their vehicles at the property without issue for the duration of their tenancy. However, after providing notice that they would be leaving town for a prolonged period of time, and relying on the assurances of the property manager, they left the luxury vehicle in its assigned location.
Following the removal, none of the defendants provided our client with proper notice that their luxury vehicle had been towed. Anytime Towing subsequently held an “auction,” despite there being little to no supporting documentation, took title to the vehicle, and claimed ownership, despite our client’s repeated demands for the return of both the vehicle and his belongings before any transfer of title.
The lawsuit includes claims for statutory towing violations, negligence, conversion, civil theft, fraudulent misrepresentation, FDUTPA violations, and unjust enrichment. It seeks damages for the loss of the luxury vehicle, the loss of the personal property inside it, as well as additional harm caused by the defendants’ misconduct. We are pursuing these claims vigorously to ensure accountability under Florida’s business laws and towing-protection statutes.

Client Reviews

”"I had a defective vehicle that a shady dealer tried taking advantage of me with, and Ayala had them backpedaling in less than 30 days! It’s VERY rare for a dealer to be forced to cancel a deal on any vehicle, but Ayala got them to cancel everything."

Steven Warr

”"The team did a great job representing my case! I was able to collect the amount I felt was fair, and it was nice to have a team directly handling everything. I was very happy with the outcome and would work with Ayala again."

Matthew J Fitzmaurice

Pulmedic Inc.

”"Eduardo went above and beyond by accompanying me to my green card and naturalization interviews. Having him there with me gave me a great sense of comfort and confidence, and I truly believe that his presence helped me a lot with my case. Thanks to Eduardo, I am now a U.S. citizen, and I couldn't have done it without his help!"

Aleksandra Atanasovska

”"I worked with Ayala Law PA in a semi-truck towing case, and it was a pleasure. They were clear and easy to understand, and always answered my questions. At the end of it all, we won the case! I highly recommend them, and appreciate that they’re always open to helping me."

Nick Talpis

”"This law firm is great! The receptionist was very nice and professional. The law firm was very attentive. You can call and easily get information. Plus, they also check in frequently. I had a difficult case with a horrible, well-known towing company, and Eduardo fought for me. I truly appreciate my case’s outcome!"

Shay Tv

”"Eduardo worked diligently on my case for almost two years, fighting to get my money back from a towing company that illegally towed my car. Considering that my case was of a small claim value and he worked pro bono, Eduardo really went above and beyond, even traveling from Miami to Orlando for our first court date. In the end, I got my money back!"

Camille Crawford

”"Eduardo and his team are great to work with. Eduardo is very responsive, and Sulay is on top of her game. Thank you Eduardo for all your help, I look forward to working with you in the future."

Ayala Law recently secured a settlement agreement against a South Florida towing company and property owner for the full value of our client’s damages.

The case involved the towing of our client’s vehicle, despite having a valid parking pass, as well as substantial damages to our client’s vehicle, resulting in the need for immediate repairs.

Attorney Ryan M. Sawal had this to say, “This settlement is a testament to what efficient, goal-oriented litigation can look like. Our client had a case in which rapid response was a necessity, and through our team’s deliberate strategy, we were able to achieve a favorable result in record time.”

We are pleased to announce that we successfully represented our appellant before Florida’s Second District Court of Appeal, securing a reversal of the trial court’s award of attorneys’ fees to the appellee, a homeowners association.

The appeal arose after the lower court granted attorneys’ fees to the association following a summary judgment ruling against our client in a towing-related dispute. Our team argued that there was no legal basis for the fee award because the underlying claim was not one for enforcement of a contractual right under the community’s governing documents, but rather a statutory claim regarding improper towing.

The appellate court agreed, concluding that the association was not entitled to attorneys’ fees under its recorded declaration. The court found that the litigation did not constitute enforcement of the declaration’s restrictions and that the fee provision did not apply to the nature of the underlying dispute, which was governed by Florida Statute § 715.07—not the association’s governing documents.

This decision reinforces the principle that attorneys’ fee provisions in recorded declarations must be strictly construed and only apply when litigation arises directly from or enforces the contractual terms they govern.

We commend the efforts of our litigation team on this result. The ruling not only protects our client from an unwarranted financial burden but also helps clarify the scope of attorneys’ fee entitlement in community association disputes across Florida.

We’ll continue to represent clients with diligence and strategic precision—both at the trial and appellate levels.

If you’re facing a legal dispute, contact an experienced attorney in Miami at 305-570-2208.
