About Marc Alexander
Marc Alexander Rapaport appears regularly in federal and state courts across Florida and is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. He has credentials to appear in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida and the Southern District of Florida, as well as the Florida bar. Those admissions shape the contours of his courtroom practice.
His career has included work inside a firm structure and in litigation settings. He is currently affiliated with Cole, Scott & Kissane, P.A., where he handles matters that reach both trial and appellate levels. Over time his docket has put him before judges in district courts and in proceedings that require awareness of both state and federal procedures.
Colleagues describe him as practical in court. He trades long legal theory for clear, procedural moves. That approach matters in federal practice, where deadlines and local rules often dictate outcomes as much as legal briefing does. His standing before the U.S. Supreme Court signals the procedural reach of his practice, even if most of his work proceeds in the district and state forums around Florida.
Rapaport's work brings him into contact with a range of civil litigation tasks. He prepares pleadings, handles discovery disputes, argues motions and manages complex case schedules. He also participates in strategy discussions that assess whether appeals are appropriate and viable. The mix of trial work and appellate analysis keeps him engaged with both immediate courtroom presentation and longer-term legal strategy.
At Cole, Scott & Kissane, P.A. he collaborates with attorneys across practice groups and with clients who require representation in multiple forums. The firm setting supplies resources for case development and appellate research. It also exposes him to matters that cross the boundary between state regulatory issues and federal civil procedure.
As of 2026 he maintains active admissions in Florida and the federal courts listed, and he accepts matters that require practice in those venues. His current practice covers federal and state litigation, including trial and appellate matters in Florida and selected federal courts.
