Russo Appellate Firm, P.A.

Experienced. Passionate. Accomplished.

Elizabeth K. Russo founded the Russo Appellate Firm, P.A., in 1990 because she wanted to offer the highly experienced counsel you get from a big firm coupled with the personalized attention you get from a small firm. For nearly 30 years, she has done just that.

At Russo Appellate Firm, P.A., we handle appeals and appellate briefs concerning civil litigation cases. We are meticulous researchers and highly skilled writers who understand how an appellate brief should be written so a judge can see the fairness in an argument. In the end, our attention to detail makes our briefs incredibly effective on appeal.

Our Appellate Briefs Set Us Apart From The Rest

At Russo Appellate Firm, P.A., our appellate briefs seek to present our clients’ cases in fresh and interesting ways.

Counsel During Trial And Appeal Proceedings

In complex civil cases, much is at stake for both the trial lawyers and the litigators. Support from appellate lawyers can be invaluable at the trial level as well as on appeal.

At Russo Appellate Firm, P.A., we take the time necessary to write effective pleadings, motions, memorandum, and briefs. Extensive experience also allows us to help with analyzing and anticipating opponents’ arguments. We can, in short, assist greatly at the trial level as well as on appeal.

What We Do For Clients

In trial proceedings, our appellate attorneys carefully prepare – and even review – trial filings to ensure that the argument being made is clear, concise, and effective. In addition to drafting pleadings, we handle summary judgment motions, motions in limine, jury instructions, and post-trial motions.

Our Approach To Briefing Truth

At Russo Appellate Firm, P.A., we believe how you present your case in the brief makes all the difference. We work hard to make our briefs as compelling as they can be, presenting our clients positively in the best possible light while never overreaching.
