Appellate Brief Writing Services for Attorneys

Experienced appellate research, strategy, and brief writing support for law firms.

Eximius Writing Services provides attorney-to-attorney appellate brief writing for law firms nationwide. Our Florida-licensed attorneys draft signature-ready appellate briefs, motions, and supporting legal research — collaborating as much or as little as you need, so your firm can take on appellate work without the overhead of hiring in-house.

Every brief is written by a licensed attorney, not a paralegal. We work directly with all six Florida District Courts of Appeal and the Florida Supreme Court, and have handled appellate matters in federal court and in California, Maine, New York, Georgia, and other states.

1,253 CASES | 22,500+ HOURS OF LEGAL RESEARCH — across litigation support and appellate matters since our founding.

Wondering what an appellate brief actually costs? We break down our engagement models and hourly estimates in The Cost of an Appeal.

  • It's collaborative legal writing where a licensed attorney — not a paralegal — drafts or revises your appellate brief behind the scenes. You stay counsel of record; we handle as much or as little of the writing, research, and strategy as you need.

  • We are Florida licensed attorneys but we handle appellate matters nationwide at the state and Federal level. We have the ability to perform work nationwide because our services provide research and writing support to the attorney of record, who remains responsible for the representation and filings in their jurisdiction.

  • We work directly with all six Florida District Courts of Appeal and the Florida Supreme Court. We've also handled appellate matters in federal court, and in California, Maine, New York, Georgia, and other states.

  • A licensed attorney, every time. Our team holds Florida bar admissions, with backgrounds ranging from judicial staff attorney to lead appellate writer at a litigation support firm.

  • Every case is different — pricing depends on brief length, the size of the record, and how much drafting versus review we're doing. We provide a fixed quote before starting any engagement. For a detailed breakdown of our engagement models and how we estimate hours, see our post, The Cost of an Appeal. Reach out for pricing specific to your case.

  • Timelines depend on the length of the brief and the complexity of the record, but most initial drafts turn around in two to three weeks. Priority requests are considered case by case — flag your deadline when you reach out.

  • No, we do not have direct contact with your clients. We are merely legal support, the work product remains yours at all times.

  • The record on appeal (or relevant portions), the lower court's ruling, and your sense of the strongest issues. We'll scope the engagement from there.

  • No — you remain counsel of record and handle filing. We deliver a signature-ready document for your review and filing.

  • Yes — notice of appeal timing, preserving issues for appeal, motion practice, and case strategy consultations are all part of what we do.

  • Civil, family, foreclosure/debt defense, and general commercial litigation appeals, plus the motion practice and legal research that supports them at the trial level.

  • Every document is written and reviewed by a licensed, practicing attorney — not drafted by non-attorney staff. You're getting attorney-level analysis and privilege, not a template filled in.

  • Schedule a consultation — we'll talk through your case, timeline, and how much involvement you want from us.
