Appellate & Constitutional Law

        To meet your needs in this specialized area, we have devoted significant time to appellate advocacy.  We provide a comprehensive understanding of the procedural and jurisdictional nuances of appellate practice and of the nuts and bolts of meeting the diverse requirements of the various courts in which we practice. 

        Our attorneys have represented clients in all five district courts of appeal in Florida and before the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.  We provide a variety of appellate services.  We represent our clients through all stages of the appellate process in cases litigated either by the Firm or by outside counsel, and we also prepare briefs on behalf of outside attorneys to assist them in representing their clients.

        We are mindful that the process of preserving error for appeal often involves raising both state and federal constitutional issues at the trial level, and we litigate constitutional issues outside the context of appeals.  We have successfully challenged the constitutionality of municipal ordinances, defeated invasion of privacy claims, and represented clients in defamation suits.
