Even Judges Make Mistakes
Joseph J. Registrato, Attorney At Law in Florida
If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your case or feel that the judge made an error or abused his or her discretion, you have the right to appeal the decision to a higher court.
We have appealed many cases successfully and some of these decisions have been published. We're proud to have had lower court decisions reversed and if you come to our office in Tampa, you'll see the first page of some of these published decisions hanging on the wall. See appeal court decision in visitation case.
Experienced Appeals attorney and Professional Journalist
The vast majority of appeals in Florida don't involve a court appearance. Appeals are done almost completely in the form of written briefs that are read by appeal court judges. The key to a successful appeal is finding the right law to support your position, then writing a brief that explains how your case meets the requirements of the law.
Prior to becoming a lawyer, Joe Registrato was a journalist for The Tampa Tribune for sixteen years, writing and editing news stories and supervising the operation of the newsroom. His writing experience has served him well in writing appellate briefs.
