Benjamin E. Richard is an appellate attorney with The Law Firm of Pajcic & Pajcic in Jacksonville, Florida. He joined the firm in 2005 and serves as its in-house appellate lawyer, handling appeals in state and federal courts while also providing legal research, appellate counseling, and trial support to the firm’s litigation attorneys. For clients searching for a Jacksonville Appellate Attorney, Richard brings extensive experience with appeals arising from personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, product liability, trucking accidents, and other complex civil cases.

Appellate law differs significantly from trial litigation. Rather than presenting a case to a jury for the first time, appellate attorneys examine the existing trial record, identify potential legal errors, research applicable law, prepare detailed written briefs, and present legal arguments to appellate judges. Richard has litigated numerous appeals in both Florida state courts and federal courts.

His role at Pajcic & Pajcic extends beyond cases that have already reached the appellate stage. Richard provides trial support and appellate counseling throughout litigation. His work includes assisting with jury selection, dispositive motions, motions in limine, summary judgment motions, evidentiary questions, and other legal issues that may influence a case before, during, or after trial.

As a Jacksonville appellate attorney, Richard works within a firm focused primarily on serious personal injury and wrongful death matters. His listed practice areas include appellate law, personal injury, wrongful death, trucking crashes, auto negligence, product liability, medical malpractice, nursing home litigation, premises liability, and admiralty and maritime litigation.

Richard graduated summa cum laude as valedictorian of his class at Florida Coastal School of Law in 2005. During law school, he served as managing editor of the Florida Coastal Law Review and completed an externship with Florida Supreme Court Justice Peggy A. Quince. That experience helped shape his interest in appellate practice and legal analysis.

He was admitted to The Florida Bar in 2005 and is also admitted to practice before all three federal district courts in Florida, including the Northern, Middle, and Southern Districts, as well as the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

Richard has participated in numerous reported appellate decisions involving insurance disputes, negligence, construction, automobile liability, and other civil matters. His appellate role allows him to work closely with Pajcic & Pajcic’s trial attorneys when complicated legal questions arise during litigation.
