Protecting Your Interests At Every Phase Of Litigation

Appellate issues can come up throughout the legal process. From the initial filing of a case to the final resolution, there can be questions or errors that may be grounds for an appeal. Grounds for an appeal can include:

• Misapplication or misinterpretation of the law, such as errors in jury instructions, improper admission or exclusion of evidence or incorrect legal rulings
• Violations of procedural rules, including improper jury selection or denial of a fair trial
• Insufficient evidence to support the verdict or judgment
• Decisions made by the trial court were unreasonable or arbitrary
• The emergence of new evidence that could significantly affect the outcome of the case and was not available during the trial
• The admission of evidence that should have been excluded, such as unlawfully obtained evidence
• Violations of constitutional rights, such as the right to a fair trial or due process.

It’s important to note that an appeal is not a retrial but a review of the lower court’s application of the law. Our appeal lawyers will help you assess whether any legal errors were significant enough to affect the outcome of your case.

Our appellate attorneys can also offer support if you are pursuing litigation with our trial attorneys. They can prepare major trial motions and memoranda, jury selection, jury instructions and post-trial motions.
