BOYNTON BEACH BUSINESS ATTORNEY
Serving Palm Beach County Businesses
A vendor refuses to deliver the materials your healthcare clinic ordered, but they cashed the check. Or your condominium board just levied a massive special assessment without following the bylaws. You need legal counsel that understands the local landscape and acts decisively.
​
Boynton Beach is changing. New businesses are opening in the eastern corridor, and the professional sector is expanding to serve a growing population. With Boca Raton's corporate hub just south and West Palm Beach to the north, Palm Beach County is a dense, highly competitive business environment. That density creates friction. Business partners disagree on strategy. Competitors violate non-disclosure agreements. Homeowners clash with their associations.
​
J. Muir & Associates is a Florida business law firm representing entrepreneurs, medical professionals, condo owners, and corporate boards seeking a Palm Beach County business attorney they can rely on. We care deeply about your success. When the negotiation ends and the other side won't move, we take action.

HOA and Condo Law in Palm Beach County
Palm Beach County has one of the highest concentrations of community associations in Florida. Disputes between residents and boards are common, costly, and personal in a way most business disputes are not.
​
The rules have changed four times since 2022. Milestone inspections were created by SB 4-D in May 2022, after the Champlain Towers South collapse, and are codified at Section 553.899, Florida Statutes. HB 913 took effect July 1, 2025 and reworked the financial side. It moved the structural integrity reserve study deadline to December 31, 2025, raised the reserve item threshold from $10,000 to $25,000, allowed reserves to be funded through loans or lines of credit with proper approval, and let associations that recently completed a milestone inspection pause or reduce certain reserve contributions to pay for the repairs that inspection identified. Associations are also now required to maintain an account with the Division of Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes. Board members who mishandle any of this can be exposed personally.
​
Florida law treats condominiums and homeowners associations differently. Condominiums are governed by Chapter 718 of the Florida Statutes, while HOAs are governed by Chapter 720. The rules, rights, and procedures are distinct. You need an attorney who understands the difference.
​
We represent both sides of community association disputes.
​
For Condominium Associations and HOAs, we provide legal counsel on board governance, contract disputes with vendors, and compliance with state statutes. When owners refuse to pay assessments, we handle the collections process. We help boards navigate complex legal requirements so they can focus on managing the community.
Contract Disputes and Business Litigation in Palm Beach County
Business in Palm Beach County moves fast, and agreements are broken every day. A former employee starts a competing business using your client list. A commercial landlord refuses to repair a leaking roof, disrupting your retail operations. A supplier delivers defective goods that cost you a major contract.
These are not theoretical problems. They are immediate threats to your livelihood.
​
We handle business disputes aggressively. Under Florida Statutes § 542.335, restrictive covenants like non-compete agreements are enforceable if they protect a legitimate business interest. We litigate these cases to stop former employees from stealing trade secrets. We also defend individuals when employers try to enforce overly broad agreements that restrict their right to work.
​
If a vendor breaches a contract, we review the agreement, assess the damages, and demand compliance. If they refuse, we file suit. We do not waste time with endless negotiations when the other side is acting in bad faith.
