About Robert W.
Robert W. Stickney began his legal path in the Midwest and finished it in the Southeast. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, then went on to receive his Juris Doctor from the University of Florida. Those formative years combined a broad undergraduate education with the practical legal training of a large public law school.
He is admitted to practice in Florida and Ohio, and he holds admissions to several federal jurisdictions. Those include the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. He is also admitted to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. These credentials allow him to appear for clients in trial courts at both the state and federal level, and to handle matters that proceed to the regional appellate court.
Stickney’s career has involved courtroom work in multiple forums. He has experience taking cases through litigation in state trial courts and in federal district courts. He also appears in appellate proceedings at the Eleventh Circuit, where legal arguments shift from factual proof to questions of law and procedure. That mix of trial and appellate work shapes how he prepares cases and advises clients.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in courtroom preparation and deliberate in legal analysis. He approaches litigation with attention to procedural posture and evidentiary record. In appellate matters, he focuses on crafting concise legal briefs and clear oral argument that address controlling precedent and standards of review. He draws on his admissions across jurisdictions to coordinate filings and appearances when cases cross state lines or federal boundaries.
Over the years, Stickney has handled matters that required navigating differences between state law and federal procedure. He has represented clients in contested hearings, trials, and appeals. That background allows him to move cases through discovery, motion practice, and beyond, paying attention to deadlines and jurisdictional requirements.
He currently maintains an active practice that spans state and federal courts in Florida and Ohio. His work centers on litigation and appellate representation across those jurisdictions, and he continues to accept matters that require representation in the Southern and Middle Districts of Florida as well as the Eleventh Circuit.
