The formal appeal process starts with filing a notice of appeal within the legal deadlines to preserve your right to have the case reviewed.
Our team crafts detailed appellate briefs that outline the legal errors that occurred and argue for the reversal or modification of the lower court’s decision.
If granted, oral arguments provide the opportunity to present your case before appellate judges before a final decision is issued.
Appellate litigation involves seeking review of a trial court’s decision by a higher court, focusing on legal errors rather than factual disputes. Unlike trial litigation, which involves presenting evidence and witness testimony, appeals rely on the record from the lower court and legal briefs.
This process ensures that the law was applied correctly and that legal procedures were properly followed during the initial trial.
The appellate process can vary but generally takes several months to over a year depending on court schedules, case complexity, and procedural requirements.
We keep clients informed of timelines and important deadlines to help manage expectations throughout the appeal.
While it is possible to file an appeal pro se, the appellate process is complex and requires strict adherence to procedural rules and effective legal argumentation.
Having knowledgeable representation ensures that your appeal is properly prepared and increases the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
Appellate courts may affirm, reverse, or remand a trial court’s decision based on their review, which can lead to a new trial or modification of the original judgment.
Each case is unique, and outcomes depend on the merits of the legal arguments presented.
Costs include filing fees, transcript preparation, and attorney fees, which can vary based on case complexity and length of the appeal.
We provide transparent fee structures and work with clients to manage expenses effectively.
Generally, appellate courts review the record from the trial court and do not consider new evidence or witness testimony.
