Kimberly A. Beckwith, of the Tampa office, argued a Motion to Quash Service of Process in a construction defect case where our client, an out-of-business stucco contractor, was allegedly served through the Secretary of State. After Kim walked the judge through the statute and the Plaintiff’s filing to show the non compliance, opposing counsel tried to convince the judge to overrule our motion. However, the Judge was not buying it and granted the motion. After the hearing, opposing counsel indicated they were going to just dismiss our client rather then spend the time trying to get them properly served.
