The Appellate Law Practice

Appellate work is a special type of advocacy. While some of the principles from trial work also apply to appeals, additional skills are required due to the unique demands of research, briefing and oral argument. Although appeals are time-sensitive, appellate work requires careful deliberation, thought and planning. Because appeals are governed by technical rules, a good appeal can be lost due to a simple rule violation that has nothing to do with the merits of the case.

We use a proprietary system for appellate work, ranging from our intake process all the way to binding the brief, to ensure thoroughness and quality control. Our system incorporates software powered by artificial intelligence to ensure that each citation to the record is the most powerful option possible. While most appellate attorneys outsource different parts of the work, we acquired equipment to keep all of our appellate work in-house in order to minimize outsourcing and delay.

We offer private consultations and co-counsel relationships for other attorneys who practice primarily in trial courts.
