TAMPA, Fla. – June 6, 2022 – Last week, Swope, Rodante P.A. partner Brent Steinberg became board certified in appellate practice by The Florida Bar.

Only 216 of the more than 100,000 members of the Florida Bar have achieved board certification in appellate practice.
Mr. Steinberg handles catastrophic injury, insurance bad faith, legal malpractice and insurance coverage cases throughout Florida and Georgia, at both the trial and appellate levels. He has served as lead appellate counsel in cases at Florida’s First, Second, Third and Fifth District Courts of Appeal, the Florida Supreme Court, the Georgia Court of Appeals, the Georgia Supreme Court, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
To achieve board certification in appellate practice, Mr. Steinberg met the rigorous requirements set by the Florida Supreme Court, including:

- favorable reviews by fellow appellate practitioners and members of the judiciary;
- 45 hours of continuing legal education focused specifically on appellate practice; and
