Why We Are Florida's "Go-To Appellate Counsel" for 2023



Experience Counts

We are a boutique appellate law firm providing comprehensive, high-quality appellate and litigation support services to trial lawyers and their clients throughout Florida. The wide array of experience in our wake combined with a track record of successful outcomes are two significant factors that make Sunshine Appeals the ideal firm to hire.



Our Skill Sets: Analytics, Case Research,

and Brief Writing

Skills required for a successful appeal differ from those of a trial attorney. We also communicate to a different audience.


Sunshine Appeals brings an objective fresh eye and new perspective to your case. We begin with a rigorous and thorough examination of the original ruling. Analyzing the appealability of the order is crucial to the appeal. Our end goal is to identify potential appellate issues to emphasize. We do that by an analytical examination and in-depth review of applicable legal theories.


Simply put, we are your legal research arm. Consider it part of our DNA. Laser-focused you can count on us to apply our experience searching the trial record for all possible errors or issues to utilize in the appeal process. This requires scrupulous attention to detail and a meticulous case review. Again, skills in our wheelhouse.


After reviewing what is quite often an extensive trial record, we begin the task of preparing a concise presentation. Legal writing is paramount on appeal requiring writing skills, our forte. Many appeals are won or lost on briefs.


Appellate briefs receive immense judicial scrutiny. Our task is to capture the sincere attention of the court. We excel at that because we understand the mindset of an appellate judge. We think like them and construct our briefs to gain mindshare on the solid tenants of our document.



Years of Appellate Practice

Sunshine Appeals has earned the right to be called Florida's "go-to" appellate firm. Countless briefs have been authored in highly complex cases during our attorney's three decades of practice that gained favorable appellate outcomes. In addition to an excellent record and reputation for competence and ethics, we are passionate about what we do.
