Practice/Industry Group Overview
Akerman Senterfitt's Appellate Practice is energetically managed by Joseph Hatchett, former Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Judge Hatchett led the effort to write the rules that govern the Eleventh Circuit today. His leadership and experience have helped us to achieve an admirable record of success in appellate matters. Two of our Appellate attorneys, Kimberly Ashby and Paul Regensdorf, are board certified in appellate matters.

Trial Savvy
Unlike lawyers in appellate boutiques or in the appellate sections of other large firms, most Akerman Appellate attorneys also maintain a practice in trial law. Our practical courtroom knowledge provides an invaluable edge when counseling trial lawyers on the creation and protection of an appellate record.
Knowing Who's Who
Because Akerman Senterfitt has offices throughout the state, our attorneys have experience within Florida's five District Courts of Appeal. When a new judge is seated, we expend a great deal of energy studying every aspect of his or her career and legal philosophy.
Spring Training All Year Long
Our litigation attorneys regularly attend seminars, staged by our appellate attorneys, teaching them the issues critical to handling an effective appeal. In addition, the Appellate Practice holds monthly meetings to review appellate trends, keeping all of us at the top of our games.
