​Dorothy F. Easley, M.S., J.D. -- Founder

Board Certified in Appellate Law

Dorothy appreciates the value of hard work, perseverance and tenacity. She grew up on a farm, learned to drive a tractor, and worked on a forestry logging crew for room and board as an undergraduate in the mountains of North Carolina. Dorothy has a Master of Science, summa cum laude, in forest genetics from New York, and a Juris Doctor, cum laude, in law from Miami. Her diverse professional experience--as a published research scientist in Latin America, as a university law professor, as a board certified appellate specialist, and as a former "biglaw" partner--has positioned her as a recognized leader in the appellate community. She is a former elected-Chair of the 1700-member Florida Appellate Practice Section. With hundreds of appeals, she is highly experienced and respected by appellate judges and her colleagues. She is an exceptional appellate advocate and writer, recognized with numerous awards for her expertise, for her uncanny ability to turn complex legalese into understandable prose, and win even the most complex cases.
