Appellate litigation involves the process of challenging a trial court’s decision in a higher court. It focuses on reviewing legal errors that may have affected the trial outcome.
Unlike trials, appeals generally do not involve new evidence but rely on the existing record to argue for reversal or modification of rulings.
You should consider hiring an appellate attorney as soon as you decide to challenge a trial court’s decision. Early consultation ensures timely filing and effective preparation.
An appellate attorney can evaluate your case and advise on the strength of your appeal and the proper procedural steps to take.
The timeframe varies depending on the court and case complexity but typically ranges from several months to over a year.
Our office keeps clients informed about expected timelines and updates during every phase of the appeal.
An appellate court may affirm, reverse, or remand the trial court’s decision. The goal is to correct any significant legal errors impacting the case.
While outcomes cannot be guaranteed, careful legal advocacy improves the chances of a favorable result.
Generally, no new facts or evidence are allowed on appeal. The review focuses on the trial record and legal issues presented.
This is why preserving a complete record during trial is critical for effective appellate review.
Appellate attorneys specialize in legal research, brief writing, and oral argument, concentrating on the application of law rather than fact-finding.
Trial attorneys conduct fact discovery, witness examinations, and initial case presentations to establish a record for appeal.
