In Florida, the appellate process is governed by rules of its own, and the art of crafting a legal appellate brief requires familiarity with both the appellate rules and the rules of civil procedure that govern the lower courts. The civil appellate practice is unique in this way. The civil appellate lawyer consults with the trial court litigator during the trial court litigation process, and becomes fully involved when the battle is waged at the appellate court level. The attorneys at Valero Law are determined to provide both the litigant and the trial court practitioner with sound appellate advocacy and an understanding of appellate practice and procedure.
