SSRGA represents clients and trial counsel in appellate matters arising from Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Broward County, Miami-Dade County, and throughout Florida , with cases heard in Florida’s District Courts of Appeal, the Florida Supreme Court, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

While there are many attorneys to choose from in South Florida, far fewer focus on appellate advocacy. When you are seeking to reverse an adverse decision—or defend a favorable judgment on appeal—the experience and judgment of your appellate counsel can be critical to the outcome.

We work with attorneys across Florida on a wide range of civil matters, including family law, probate and trust litigation, commercial disputes, personal injury, administrative law, and criminal appeals. Our practice is centered on the appellate process itself, with a disciplined and strategic approach designed to achieve the best possible result.

By the time a case reaches the appellate stage, clients and counsel have already invested a significant amount of time, resources, and effort. Our appellate attorneys bring fresh eyes and an objective perspective—carefully reviewing the trial court proceedings to determine which issues merit appellate review and which should be set aside.

This process involves a meticulous analysis of the trial record, applicable legal standards, and procedural requirements, culminating in a clear and persuasive written brief and, when appropriate, compelling oral argument.

Clients and referring attorneys rely on us for:

• Unwavering attention to detail
• Thorough and strategic legal research
• Exceptional appellate writing and advocacy
• A deep understanding of appellate rules and procedure
• The ability to communicate effectively with appellate judges

Appellate courts decide cases based solely on the written briefs and the record from the trial court. Our attorneys are skilled at distilling complex records into concise, persuasive arguments and raising only those issues most likely to succeed.

We handle appeals from final judgments, summary judgments, and dispositive orders, as well as interlocutory and administrative appeals and petitions for original writs, including certiorari, mandamus, prohibition, quo warranto, habeas corpus, and all-writs petitions.

Our appellate perspective is equally valuable before a case reaches appeal. SSRGA’s Florida Office provides litigation support to trial attorneys handling complex and high-stakes matters, helping shape legal arguments and preserve issues that may be critical on appeal.

Our litigation support services include assistance with:

• Pretrial motions, motions in limine, and dispositive motions
• Summary judgment and rehearing motions
• Appellate issue preservation and objection strategy
• Case strategy development before and during trial
• In-depth legal and factual research
• Drafting persuasive motions, proposed orders, and judgments designed to withstand appellate scrutiny

Early appellate involvement can strengthen trial strategy, improve settlement posture, and protect favorable outcomes.

This information is intended to provide an overview of the appellate and litigation support services available through SSRGA. If you are considering an appeal, responding to one, or seeking strategic support during trial, we welcome the opportunity to assist.
