Q: How can we find out if there is any motions to a case? I want to file an appeal for a retrial
A: You might call up you trial level lawyer and ask what sort of issues might work on appeal. During this conversation ask about motion, evidentiary rulings and so forth. You could also go onto the clerk’s electronic docket and download copies of all interesting documents. Being so informed you could then discuss with an appeal lawyer the merits of an appeal. An appeal is completely different than the trial level.
Keith Upson agrees with this answer
A: I'd add to what my colleague Mr. Garland already stated that there are many qualified appellate attorneys in Florida who happily provide free initial consultations.
