St. Augustine Beach Attorney – Appeals & Appellate Law

When the outcome of a trial doesn’t reflect justice, an appeal may provide a path to a more favorable result. At St. Johns Law Group, we understand the high stakes and intricate legal strategy required in appellate practice. Our St. Augustine Beach appeals attorneys are here to guide you through the appeals process with precision, professionalism, and deep legal insight.

Over 10 Attorneys and Over 100 Appeals

We provide comprehensive appellate services across multiple areas of law, including civil litigation, family law, land use and zoning, contract disputes, and administrative rulings. Whether you need to challenge an unjust ruling or defend a successful judgment, our appellate team has the experience and commitment to help you pursue the best possible outcome.

Why Hire a St. Augustine Beach Appellate Lawyer?

Appellate law is fundamentally different from trial-level litigation. Appeals require mastery of written advocacy, complex procedural rules, and legal research to craft persuasive arguments for appellate judges.

At St. Johns Law Group, our attorneys have successfully handled appeals in:

• Florida’s District Courts of Appeal (DCA)

• Florida Circuit Courts

• U.S. Courts

Attorney Alex Nunchuck has personally filed and argued over 20 appellate cases.

Hiring an appellate specialist ensures your case is reviewed and argued with a deep understanding of precedent, statutes, and standards of review. If you’re unsatisfied with the result of your case or facing an appeal from the other side, our team can protect your interests every step of the way.
