What an Appeals lawyer can do for you

Experienced appellate attorneys will assume the various aspects of an appeal, including preparation for trial, consultations at the trial court level, and editing briefs and preparing oral arguments. To avoid losing your appeal on a technicality, you will want to file with an accomplished appellate attorney who is experienced in trial court and arguing appeals. Find an appellate attorney experienced in the area of law according to your case, from commercial to personal injury to real estate.

Why hire an Appeals attorney

If you file a lawsuit and lose the case, you can appeal the decision to the next highest court, which is called the appellate court. Appellate lawyers often specialize in arguing appeals; that is, they specialize in arguing why the decision of the lower court was wrong (or why it was right, for the party that won). Appellate attorneys specialize in appeals because they understand the specific and detailed rules that must be followed. It is possible to lose an appeal on technicalities, even when the law is on your side. If you want to appeal the outcome of the trial court, or if you need to argue against another person's appeal, you should work with an appellate attorney.
