Appellate Law

Key West Appeals Attorneys

After a decision has been made in a case, it may be possible to review the case and pursue an appeal, if there are grounds upon which to seek a reversal of the decision. At Horan, Wallace & Higgins, LLP, our law firm is able to help clients understand the appellate law process and the ways in which appeals are handled in Florida state and federal courts.

We pride ourselves on the fact that our lawyers have the legal experience necessary to handle both state and federal appellate matters. Attorney David Paul Horan is one of only a few attorneys in the Florida Keys that has successfully argued a case before the United States Supreme Court. His experience with the appellate process, combined with the knowledge of our other lawyers, allows you to have highly skilled representation in a wide range of appellate law matters.
