Safe Harbor Litigation

The legal team representing the plaintiffs is seeking relief for all individuals represented. We are not naïve however and know it will be a long, time consuming and expensive process. We have therefore created a “Safe Harbor” for all affected taxpayers while the class action litigation is pending. We know that the final decision will not be made at the lower court level. Each of our cases will undoubtedly work their way through the Florida intermediate appellate courts to the Florida Supreme Court and even ultimately to the United States Supreme Court. We have not undertaken such a challenge lightly. As Abraham Lincoln said, “A lawyer’s time is his stock in trade.” All we have to give is the best of our time and effort to this cause knowing that the end game to this litigation will not be played out for several years. During that time you will continue to be called upon to pay your taxes.

To provide maximum benefit and insurance, the legal team representing the individual Plaintiffs and class members offer a “Safe Harbor” for all affected taxpayers who join our legal action. If you join our action you will be in the best position to recapture unconstitutional excessive taxes paid by you. This will insure you maximum tax relief. Should the courts declare SOHA unconstitutional, they most likely will only allow future relief and not allow for the recovery of excessive taxes paid in the past, except for those persons who have joined in our action or otherwise specifically preserved their objection to SOHA in court. It is our strong legal view that taxes paid by existing litigants must be refunded. Those taxpayers who join in the existing lawsuit will become “existing litigants” as opposed to potential class member litigants, and thereby will be protected for taxes paid by them while the litigation is pending.
