Civil Appeals
Handling appeals of trial court decisions in civil cases has been a part of Richman Greer’s practice since its founding in 1961. The firm handles appeals of final judgments and non-final orders in the intermediate state courts of appeal, the Florida Supreme Court and the Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal. Most often the firm represents clients on appeal in cases where the firm handled the case at the trial court level. However, where an appropriate record has been established at the trial court, the firm also undertakes appeals in civil cases for clients whom it did not represent at the trial level. The firm’s appellate court experience provides its trial court attorneys with the experience needed to anticipate appellate issues throughout trial.
Skills in written and oral advocacy are essential to the successful handling of civil appeals and the firm prides itself in the work of its members in this regard.
