Appellate Practice

Appellate work demands a sharp focus on the legal questions involved as the grounds for an appeal can be typically narrow in scope.

Our appellate experience means we engage in having a precise understanding of the law’s construction, history and purpose as well as a thorough examination of the case precedent.

We are admitted to appear before the Florida District Courts of Appeal, the Florida Supreme Court and the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Our understanding of complex case law combined with our skillful experience in writing briefs and presenting oral argument have served our clients with exceptional representation as well as providing successful results.

If you are seeking representation, we encourage you to contact us.
