We can accommodate any research
need in the area of Florida State Governmental Regulation. Numerous firms
have utilized our services to obtain expedited answers to subsantive questions at an economical cost. The extensive range of published Florida Administrative Orders available is a small fraction of our total archive.
Most FALR "Official Reporter"
agencies submit for our editing all Final Orders,
including informal dispositions pursuant to 120.57(2)&(3), Florida Statutes.
This formidable and unrivaled archive is complimented by our own complete
Administrative Law Library, in-house databases, extensive local Library Resources
and in-depth understanding of the Administrative process and key personnel.
Our services therefore go
beyond what is normally attainable to include:
FLORIDA PROFESSIONAL LICENCE WATCH (FPLW)
Our firm is uniquely aware of resources which can ascertain whether a
Florida-licensed professional has been previously subject to discipline; whether
physician or dentist has suffered a a civil medical malpractice claim in
Florida, as well as to provide immediate notification when a disciplinary
proceeding is brought against a particular licensee.
Private in-house records and
our unique understanding of state agency records can ensure comprehensive
and accurate searches. PLW has been utilized by both hospitals wishing to
monitor physicians on their staff, and plaintiff's attorney's investigating
the backgrounds of both defendants and expert witnesses.
SUBJECT AREA SEARCHES
As editors of an extensive line of Administrative Law publications, Indexes
and SUPERCUMULATIVE INDEXES, we are uniquely qualified to search for pertinent
substantive caselaw. Our service is prompt, thorough and detailed. We have
provided these services for prominent attorneys in the areas of Utility Regulation,
State Taxation, Environmental & Health Care Regulation and Professional
License Discipline. References are gladly provided upon request.
CASE ANALYSIS
Beyond locating pertinent published and unpublished Orders and Databases,
we are available to analyze the cases found as required or to develop research
strategies. Our consulting services are prompt and thourough.
EMAIL AND FACSIMILE TRANSMISSION
Any Order or information in our possession can be transmitted
instantly by e-mail or facsimile for a reasonable fee.
PUBLIC RECORDS SEARCH
While the Public Record in Florida is
available to all, accessing it is often a tedious and time-consuming process.
Our long and extensive publishing endeavors have provided us with an equivalent
working knowledge of the Public Record in Florida.
We can promptly and accurately
obtain Orders not in our possession, Internal Agency Procedure Manuals, State
Databases and a vast body of related information. Our services are tailored
specifically to your needs as required.
CASE PREPARATION FOR THE PENALTY PHASE OF A PROCEEDING
The penalty phase of an Administrative hearing or settlement negotiation
is crucial. We are available to promptly and accurately search both published
and unpublished orders for analogous factual situations and the appurtenant
dispositions. Our experience is that both Hearing Officers and Agency Attorneys
readily welcome such guidance but often do not receive it.

ONLINE DATABASE
The FALR Online Database gives you instant access to the full text of
thousands of Administrative Orders and Judicial Decisions. By using a variety
of search methods, you can quickly find the right cases along with their
FALR citations. Our Database is updated hourly with the latest FINAL
AND DOAH RECOMMENDED ORDERS which will be published in the future FALR editions.
Special communication software is needed for
access.
The Online Database includes the following publications, from March 1990
to date:
- Florida Administrative Law Reports (FALR)
- Environmental and Land Use Administrative Law Reporter (ER FALR)
- FALR State Tax Report (Tax FALR)
- Florida Public Service Commission Reporter (FPSC) Since September 1993
- Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) Recommended and Final Orders Rendered
- After Formal Hearings
- Department of Insurance (DOI) Final Orders
The FALR Online database is divided into five parts:
The foundation of our Database is made up of FALR “Official Reporter”
Agency Final Orders issued since March 1990 and published in the Florida Administrative
Law Reports (FALR). These include Final and Recommended Orders rendered after
Formal Hearings, Declaratory Statements, Attorney’s Fees and Rule Challenge
Final Orders from the Division of Administrative Hearings (D.O.A.H.), and
Supreme and Appellate Court cases pertinent to all aspects of Administrative
Law. Also included in this Database are Orders which were not published in
the Florida Administrative Law Reports, but which do appear in the weekly
slip-sheet Environmental and Land Use Administrative Law Reporter (ER FALR).
Not only is the ER FALR a comprehensive
publication covering formal hearings of FALR Official Reporter agencies who
are responsible for Environmental and Land Use Regulation in Florida, but
it also covers other agencies who do not choose to report in the FALR. Examples
are the Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission, the Administration
Commission and certain Water Management Districts, as well as informal hearings
and settlement agreements of precedential value (i.e., Orders of Water Shortage
Warning and Consent Orders in Petroleum Product Spill Cleanup Reimbursement
Applications).
TAX FALR (from 1990 to the Present)
is the Database’s second section. It includes Technical Assistance Advisements(TAA)
of the Florida Department of Revenue, as well as Final and Recommended Orders
in 120.57(1) Formal Hearings, Declaratory Statements, D.O.A.H. Rule Challenges
and Attorney’s Fees cases, Attorney General’s Opinions and Supreme, Appellate
and Circuit Court cases pertinent to State Taxation.
The last three sections round
out our database. Part three includes Division of Administrative Hearings
D.O.A.H.) Recommended and Final Orders issued after formal hearings. Part
four consists of all Florida Public Service Commission Orders issued since
October 1993, and our last section includes Department of Insurance Final
Orders.
