Jacksonville Appellate Lawyer

When a trial comes to an end, litigation is not necessarily over.

At Douglas & Douglas, our Jacksonville appellate lawyers have the skills and experience needed to successfully handle the full range of criminal and civil appeals. To find out more about what we can do for you, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Jacksonville law office to schedule a strictly confidential, no obligation consultation.

Criminal Appeals Lawyer in Jacksonville

Criminal convictions are the most frequently appealed legal cases in Florida. A criminal conviction can be appealed for many different reasons. In some cases, defendants file an appeal because a trial court applied a sentence that was beyond the limits imposed by Florida law. In other cases, criminal convictions are appealed because a lower court made a serious error, such as improperly admitted unreliable or tainted evidence. In still other cases, there may be reason to believe that the defendant received ineffective legal assistance or that the prosecutor committed serious misconduct. Regardless, defendants deserve a fair process. At Douglas & Douglas, our top-rated Jacksonville criminal appeal defense lawyers are prepared to review every aspect of your case to ensure that your rights are protected.

Civil Appeals Lawyer in Jacksonville

For many different reasons, a plaintiff or a defendant may want to appeal an adverse decision in a civil case. To be clear, the appellate court is not there to re-litigate the entire case. Instead, its purpose is to ensure that the process was handled correctly and fairly by the lower courts. If material error affected the result of the case, that mistake must be rectified. Our Jacksonville appellate attorneys handle a wide range of civil appeals, including those involving:

  • Business litigation;
  • Employment law;
  • Personal injury claims; and
  • Family law.
