Miami, Florida – April 10, 2026 – Barakat + Bossa has successfully recovered approximately $650,000 for a Czech client in a commercial litigation matter, achieving the result within one week of being retained. The firm was engaged on March 26 and, by April 2, secured a settlement resulting in recovery from the proceeds of a Miami real estate closing, underscoring the firm’s ability to act decisively in time‑sensitive disputes.
The matter arose from the client’s purchase of a pediatric medical practice in the Czech Republic. Following the acquisition, the client brought claims regarding undisclosed withdrawals by the prior owner from the practice. Concerned about asset dissipation, Barakat + Bossa moved quickly to protect the client’s interests.
The firm filed a civil complaint and recorded a notice of lis pendens against the defendant’s Miami apartment, effectively stopping a pending sale of the property. With the closing at risk, the defendant agreed to resolve the dispute, and a substantial portion of the client’s damages was recovered directly from the closing sale proceeds.
“This case demonstrates how immediate and strategic action can drive real results for a client,” said Tereza Horáková, the attorney who handled the matter. “By acting swiftly to assert our client’s claims and secure the property, we were able to halt the sale and negotiate a recovery in a matter of days rather than allowing the dispute to drag on through extended litigation.”
