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.
