About Eric M.
Eric M. Yesner moved from education into law over the course of a decade. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Florida Atlantic University in 2009 and stayed at FAU to complete a Master of Education in Educational Leadership in 2011. He then attended Shepard Broad Law Center at Nova Southeastern University, receiving his J.D. in 2016.
Those academic stops shaped the way he approaches cases. Sociology gave him a framework for understanding institutions and communities. Educational leadership introduced administrative and policy issues that later intersected with legal questions. Law school added the doctrinal training and appellate work that would define his legal path.
Yesner practices in Florida. He is listed as a current member of the Florida Bar Young Lawyers Division and the Florida Bar Appellate Practice Section. His involvement with bar organizations extends locally. He belongs to the Broward County Bar Association and the Palm Beach County Bar Association. He also holds memberships in the Federalist Society and the Republican National Lawyers Association. These affiliations place him within broader professional and political conversations that affect appellate advocacy and appellate procedure in the state.
At the office level, Yesner is associated with Conrad & Scherer, LLP. Public materials show him working there in recent years. The firm context provides a platform for appeals and related litigation matters that reach state and federal appellate panels. He has participated in briefing and oral argument preparation, and he has been active on issues commonly raised in appellate dockets, such as procedural appeals, statutory interpretation, and administrative law questions.
Colleagues describe Yesner as methodical in the courtroom and precise on the page. He favors tight, precedent-focused briefs and careful record development. His background in education sometimes informs cases that touch on school governance or administrative process, and his sociology training can surface in matters that involve institutional dynamics.
Outside the office, he remains engaged in bar activities that emphasize appellate practice and the professional development of newer lawyers. He mentors junior attorneys through local bar programs and participates in panels and continuing legal education offerings when schedules permit.
He currently practices at Conrad & Scherer, LLP in Florida, concentrating on appellate litigation and related matters.
