Appellate Law

Our Appellate Practice focuses on cases that have been decided at the trial-court level, but one of the parties involved was unhappy with the result and wants an appellate court to review and reverse the decision. The types of issues on appeal vary widely, but the appellate process is generally the same for nearly all issues.

Appellate Law

The process of appealing a courts decision can appear to be a daunting task for both the party making the appeal and the party defending against it. There are a long series of deadlines, forms, and special rules which apply to appeals cases. This makes an appeals case a very different beast from a case being heard for the first time at the trial level. It is important for a party who finds themselves in an appeal or needing an appeal to have a attorney that understands how these rules effect an appeals case to effectively represent their client.

Our firm has attorneys who have worked in judge’s chambers to help resolve cases at both the trial-court and appellate-court level, so we know the types of arguments that are likely to be persuasive and are well-informed of the overarching concerns of appellate judges. Whether you are looking to appeal a decision that was unfavorable to you or an opposing party is appealing a decision that was favorable to you, we have the knowledge and expertise to counsel you about the merits of the appeal and to fight on your behalf.
