Appeals generally focus on legal errors made during the trial, such as misapplication of law or improper procedure.
The appellate court reviews these issues to determine whether the trial court’s decision should be upheld or reversed.
Appellate courts typically do not consider new evidence as appeals review the record from the original trial court proceedings.
The focus is on legal arguments based on the existing trial record rather than factual reexamination.
After a decision, options may include accepting the ruling, seeking further review in a higher court, or complying with the judgment as directed.
We provide guidance on appropriate next steps based on your particular case and appellate results.
