Best Law Firms in Florida for Appellate Practice

Easley Appellate Practice focuses on appellate litigation. The firm has handled hundreds of appeals in Florida and federal appellate courts across the United States and the US Supreme Court. The firm’s attorneys have been licensed since 1994 and hold Board Certification in Appellate Practice from The Florida Bar and only those certified as such can use the title of "appeal experts" or "appeal specialists".

Our work centers on federal and Florida appeals involving business law, contract disputes, intellectual property, business torts, health law, and family law. We assist clients and trial counsel with expert appellate briefing, oral argument, and other issues that arise during the appellate process.

We practice before the U.S. Supreme Court, all United States Courts of Appeals, the Florida Supreme Court, and Florida’s District Courts of Appeal, handling more than 500 appeals to date. In addition to appellate matters, Easley Appellate Practice provides strategic litigation support in trial courts and has assisted in more than 50 trials.

Your appeal begins before the notice of appeal is filed.

That is why our attorneys provide appellate counsel at the trial level in addition to representing clients in appellate courts. Our work involves more than preserving the record or researching and drafting motions and responses. Working closely with trial counsel, our attorneys develop strategies to identify and frame anticipated issues for review, seek stays through appeals or petitions for extraordinary writs when appropriate, and address procedural considerations that may affect appellate review. By evaluating appealability and standards of review early in the process, we help position cases for effective presentation before appellate courts. Our team draws on substantial experience with appellate procedure and a broad range of substantive legal issues to support clients throughout every stage of litigation.

Our attorneys have handled appeals involving complex commercial disputes, insurance coverage and bad faith claims, legal malpractice, arbitration enforcement, contractual and real estate matters, wrongful death and personal injury cases, and issues of first impression in both state and federal courts. We have addressed forum disputes, challenges to arbitration provisions, trial court rulings, and preservation of appellate issues. Whether assisting trial counsel in high-stakes litigation or preparing appellate briefs and oral arguments, we remain focused on providing thoughtful advocacy and practical guidance tailored to each client’s objectives.
