Delray Beach Appeals Lawyer

An appeal is an application to a higher court for the decision of a lower court to be evaluated for error. The appellant is the party taking the appeal and seeking reversal of the decision claimed to be erroneous, and the appellee is the party responding to the claims and, typically, seeking affirmance of the decision. Most often, an appeal is taken following the entry of a Final Judgment after a final trial, but it can also be taken during the pendency of a case, before the entry of Final Judgment, as to certain limited issues, such as a determination of the proper venue of a case, personal jurisdiction, the right to immediate monetary relief (such as a request for temporary alimony or temporary attorney’s fees), and orders related to injunctions.

It is important to act quickly if you receive an order of the Court that you believe to be erroneous under the law or based on the facts, as there are strict deadlines for when a party must file a notice of intent to take an appeal. Most instances require such a notice to be filed within 30 days of entry of the Court’s order to be challenged by the appeal, but other timeframes may apply depending on the type of appeal and the filings in your case.
