Bernhard Law Firm was defending an appeal on the fundamental principles of inheritance and property rights. See Case No. 5D23-3754. Bernhard Law Firm had taken up the cause to ensure that its clients kept their rightful share of real estate, preserving their legacy and heritage in the historic neighborhood of St. Augustine. The appeal represented a fight for preservation of familial rights.

Ultimately, the case turned on appellants’ failure to adhere to core Rules of Judicial Administration, prosecution of appeals, and proof of service of appellate court filings. Here are some resources to ensure compliance with the core rules and requirements in appeals:

See Rule 9.420 on Certificate of Service

See Rule 9.210 on Briefs
