5) What is meant by the requirement that I "exhaust my administrative remedies" before filing suit?

The Federal Tort Claims Act specifies that before a suit for damages may be filed in federal court, the claimant must present the claim in writing to the appropriate federal agency and follow certain procedural rules while the agency investigates your allegations and considers whether to settle or deny your claim. The procedures for this are different depending on which federal agency is involved.

While our firm started in Orlando and its main office is there, for many years we have handled cases throughout Florida, and even out of state. To serve you better we have opened additional satellite offices in several major Florida cities. We use these offices to conduct client interviews, take depositions, and as war rooms when we have trials in these cities. When advantageous to you, we will also associate with other lawyers and law firms in some areas of the state to serve you better. If we do associate with other lawyers on your case it will be at no additional attorney fee or expense to you.
