Appeals

The best result is of little value if it cannot be protected. Our firm has successfully represented corporations, individuals and insurance carriers before the appellate courts at every level in this state.

The appellate process does not begin with the lower court’s decision, but rather with the first applications to that lower court. An essential part of the appeal is the record made before the lower court. If the record is incomplete, the appellate court may well be unable, or may refuse to grant the relief sought. Our ranks include a number of experienced attorneys who have handled numerous appeals on virtually every issue raised by negligence actions. We have also successfully handled many appeals involving insurance coverage, contract and employment law issues in both state and federal court. This wealth of research and information enables our trial attorneys to draw information from a vast array of legal issues which previously have been explored. We are fortunate to have attorneys who can focus on getting it right the first time and ensuring that our clients have the best possible chance for success.

When we receive an adverse determination, we are able to evaluate our prospects for appellate success quickly and efficiently and to advise our clients accordingly. This enables us to secure reversals of erroneous orders, verdicts and judgment.
