Common Questions

Understanding the Appeals Process

How long do I have to file an appeal in Florida?

State Courts: In most Florida civil cases, you have 30 days from the date the final judgment is rendered to file your Notice of Appeal. Criminal appeals also generally have a 30-day window.



Federal Courts: For civil cases in federal district courts, you typically have 30 days to file a Notice of Appeal to the Eleventh Circuit (60 days if the U.S. is a party). Criminal federal appeals must be filed within 14 days.



Missing these deadlines typically means losing your right to appeal entirely, which is why contacting an appellate attorney immediately is critical.

While you can, it’s generally not recommended. Appellate law is a specialized practice requiring different skills than trial work. Appellate attorneys focus on legal research, persuasive writing, and identifying errors of law—not witness examination or jury persuasion. A fresh perspective often identifies issues the trial attorney may have missed or may be hesitant to raise.
Success rates vary based on the strength of your appellate issues. During our free case review, we’ll honestly assess your appeal’s viability. We focus on cases with genuine reversible error—we won’t take your money if we don’t believe we can help you. Our goal is to identify the strongest issues and present them persuasively.
Appellate fees vary based on case complexity, record length, and number of issues. We offer transparent flat-fee arrangements for most appeals, so you know your costs upfront. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed quote based on your specific case. We also offer payment plans to make justice accessible.
If the appellate court finds reversible error, it may reverse the judgment entirely, modify it, or remand (send it back) to the trial court for a new trial or further proceedings consistent with the appellate court’s opinion. The specific outcome depends on the nature of the errors found and the relief requested.
