Appeals
Our appellate lawyers provide comprehensive
representation in appeals on both state and federal levels. The firm
handles final appeals, original and extraordinary writs, and other
types of appellate review of orders issued by trial courts and
regulatory agencies. We frequently participate in appeals on behalf of
amicus curiae in cases affecting a broad class of individuals or
litigants. The firm handles all appeals of cases in which its attorneys
have served as trial counsel and appears as appellate counsel for trial
lawyers outside the firm. Our appellate attorneys also provide
litigation support to trial counsel to assure that potential appellate
issues are avoided where possible and preserved when necessary.
The firm is experienced in appeals involving
professional and general liability, property insurance, first and third
party insurance coverage issues, domestic relations, commercial
disputes, personal injury, products liability, premises liability,
probate and employment discrimination. We also have expertise in
