Appellate Law Strategy and Advocacy

Preserving trial court victories or overturning decisions

Successful appellate law requires two things: A comprehensive understanding of the law and precedent and a strategic, calculated approach to reframe legal issues and focus the court’s attention properly.

Whether you are seeking to preserve a trial court victory or overturn a decision, we will put our deep knowledge of appellate law and procedure to work for you.

Our appellate law strategy

The cases we take on involve a substantial right, a significant dollar amount, or a legal issue that will fundamentally affect your business. The greater the stake, the more likely there will be an appeal by either side. With so much on the line, our appellate strategy begins as soon as we draft and file a complaint in the trial court.

A thoroughly researched and carefully worded complaint ensures your case preserves any arguments you might need on appeal. It also creates an adequate record to support all appeal positions.

Once we have laid the proper foundation for your case, we are well -positioned for a successful outcome.
