Isnt a lawyer suppose give you reasons to why they cannot represent you

No, there is no requirement that we inform potential clients why we won't represent them. And in some cases it may create a conflict to tell them (depending on if we represent an opposing party).

Can I name multiple parties in a civil action for libel/slander in Florida?

Yes, the defendants may try and sever the case but as long as the claims came out of the same facts and circumstances you will be able to keep all the defendants in one case. Libel/slander is not an easy case to handle yourself and I highly recommend you speak with an attorney before filing suit.

Can I sue the hotel or the manager?

These cases are hard to prove and the damages are usually too low to make them worthwhile for most attorneys to take on a contingency basis. You can keep trying to find an attorney to take on your case on a contingency basis, hire one and pay them hourly, or file your case pro se (meaning you represent yourself- which I don't recommend except in small claims court which is $5,000 or less).

I am being sentenced on Wednesday to 1 year CC followed by two years probation.

If you truly feel you're not getting the answers you need I'd recommend getting a second opinion before your plea hearing. Accepting the plea is something you need to be completely comfortable with. You should try and get the answers from your attorney first but if that doesn't work you should speak to someone before your hearing.

My Ex has property of mine in her residence, i have receipts. (around $10,000.00) Can I sue to recover belongings or worth?

And in this situation a lot of times a strongly worded demand letter will accomplish what you want without having to file suit. Definitely worth consulting an attorney over.

Is it possible to negotiate for lower amount (loan) already was granted a final judgement against me

You can call and offer to settle but you should consider hiring an attorney to handle the settlement and garnishments for you. Any exemptions/defenses to the garnishments that the attorney can come up with it will help him/her to hopefully negotiate a lower settlement. Best of luck!
