Our Process

It is the legal process of challenging or defending a lower court’s
decision by having a higher court to review it.

Generally, appeals focus on whether legal errors were
made in the original case, not on re-trying facts or
presenting new evidence. After reviewing the trial
record, an appellate litigator can help identify which
errors would be more likely to be corrected on appeal.

It can take several months to over a year, depending on the court and case complexity.

The court may affirm, reverse, modify, or send the case back to the lower court for further action.

Yes. Appellate litigation
requires skilled attorneys experienced in legal research,
persuasive writing, and oral advocacy.
