APPEALS

The appeals process is an often overlooked and frequently improperly understood area of practice. Simply, your case does not always stop at your trial. Appeals can happen during a case, or at the end of your case. And if your lawyer does not understand the appellate process, or your appellate rights, you can be at a severe disadvantage.  At the trial of your case, the court can make determinations that affect the disposition of your case during its appeal. For example, preserving your appellate rights for something like the wrongful exclusion of evidence and make the difference in preserving your favorable verdict on appeal, or losing it, resulting in an expensive second trial, or worse, a rendered decision by the Court of Appeals.

It is our philosophy that we must be well-schooled in appeals and, unlike many lawyers, we handle our own appellate matters. Additionally, we handle appeals for cases that others have handled when appellate issues arise. We know your rights on appeal and have been involved in any number of various types of appeals (both during and following cases in litigation).
