Your appeal begins before the notice of appeal is filed.
That is why our attorneys provide appellate counsel at the trial level in addition to representing clients in appellate courts. Our work involves more than preserving the record or researching and drafting motions and responses. Working closely with trial counsel, our attorneys develop strategies to identify and frame anticipated issues for review, seek stays through appeals or petitions for extraordinary writs when appropriate, and address procedural considerations that may affect appellate review. By evaluating appealability and standards of review early in the process, we help position cases for effective presentation before appellate courts. Our team draws on substantial experience with appellate procedure and a broad range of substantive legal issues to support clients throughout every stage of litigation.
Our attorneys have handled appeals involving complex commercial disputes, insurance coverage and bad faith claims, legal malpractice, arbitration enforcement, contractual and real estate matters, wrongful death and personal injury cases, and issues of first impression in both state and federal courts. We have addressed forum disputes, challenges to arbitration provisions, trial court rulings, and preservation of appellate issues. Whether assisting trial counsel in high-stakes litigation or preparing appellate briefs and oral arguments, we remain focused on providing thoughtful advocacy and practical guidance tailored to each client’s objectives.
