Boyd & Jenerette has extensive experience handling civil appeals throughout Florida, including matters before Florida’s District Courts of Appeal and Supreme Court, as well as the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. 

Appellate advocacy requires a distinct set of skills. Effective appellate counsel must master a complex record, identify and preserve the issues that matter most, conduct focused legal research, and present persuasive arguments through concise, well-crafted briefs. Oral advocacy is equally important through careful preparation and anticipation of questions from the appellate court at oral argument. Our appellate attorneys bring substantial experience to both the written and oral aspects of appellate practice. 

In addition to handling appeals, our appellate attorneys provide litigation and trial support at every stage of a case. This includes assisting with dispositive and other significant motions, developing legal strategy, analyzing preservation issues, conducting targeted research, attending trial, and helping trial counsel position cases for potential appellate review. Our team offers decades of combined appellate experience, including the perspective of a former appellate judge and a Florida Bar Board Certified specialist in appellate practice.
