The appellate attorney may need to review the entire Court file and the court transcripts in order to full assist with any appellate actions. In order to give you a detailed answer, I would need to know the legal issue involved with the 1987 case in order to bring this back to court.

   If the trial were in 1987 it is unlikely there is anything he can do to reopen the case - all appeals and collateral challenges have in all likelihood run long ago. You do not explain what grounds for a retrial would be, even if time were not a bar.
