Florida Appellate Lawyers

Helping You Appeal Trial Verdicts

If you want to appeal a trial verdict from a judge or jury, it’s important to choose a skilled appellate lawyer to identify issues for appeal and argue them effectively in appellate court or to defend against an appeal brought by your opponent. The appeals process is complicated and not just any lawyer will do. To pursue an appeal you may need to first convince a panel of judges that there is jurisdiction over your issue. An appellate attorney must also analyze the trial court proceedings and demonstrate that proper procedures or precedent was not followed such that there is a compelling reason for reversing the verdict. For these reasons and others, appealing a decision requires an attorney with special skills and experience, one who already knows the best strategies to persuade appellate judges.

Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen has the experience and know-how to advise you on your appeal. A Florida appellate attorney on our team can meet with you, analyze the proceedings, review the lower court’s decision and research the law that could help you succeed.

Is an Appeal the Same as a Retrial?

An appeal is not the same as a retrial. Unlike a trial lawyer who builds a case for a jury, an appellate attorney researches, writes and anticipates the answers an appellate court will want. They prepare thoughtful arguments—both written and oral—to persuade judges, not jurors. In most instances, an appeal is your last opportunity to seek the justice to which you are entitled.
