At Annesser Armenteros, we recognize that appellate practice requires a unique set of skills distinct from trial litigation. Our appellate attorneys possess expertise in the procedural and substantive complexities of appellate law, enabling us to provide sophisticated representation that can significantly impact the outcome of your case. Our team handles appeals arising from our own trial cases as well as those referred to us by other practitioners seeking specialized appellate counsel. Our appellate attorneys are well-versed in drafting comprehensive appellate briefs that carefully analyze trial records, identify reversible errors, and craft compelling legal arguments grounded in precedent and sound statutory interpretation. We also excel in preserving issues for appeal during trial, ensuring clients’ rights are fully protected throughout the litigation lifecycle.
A critical aspect of our appellate practice involves providing real-time appellate advice during trial. By working alongside trial counsel, our appellate attorneys help identify and preserve potential appellate issues, advise on evidentiary and procedural matters, and guide strategic decisions that optimize appellate posture. This proactive involvement can prevent waiver of key issues and improve the prospects for a successful appeal if needed.
Our firm’s appellate practice spans a wide range of civil and commercial disputes, including contract, real estate, business litigation, and complex commercial matters. We regularly appear before state appellate courts, Florida’s District Courts of Appeal, and federal courts, providing oral argument and appellate motion practice and provide real time strategic consultation on appealability and procedural posture at the trial level. By collaborating closely with trial counsel and clients, we tailor our appellate strategies to align with broader case objectives and maximize the chances of a successful outcome on appeal.
