Niles Stefan Illich

Niles is an unmatched appellate lawyer in terms of knowledge, skill, and experience. As a fellow attorney, Niles is an invaluable resource in crafting a defense, trial strategy, and preservation of error due to his own experience in over 400 appeals and his first-hand experience arguing in front of ...6 of the Federal circuits and each of the appellate courts in Texas (aside from the newly formed 15th Circuit). My firm has used his office for our most intricate and complex arguments. When confronted with an appellate inquiry from a client, reviewing pretrial motions, or advising trial objections/responses, Niles (an attorney's who has succeeded at the highest level - the Supreme Court of the United States) provides unique well-researched expertise tailored to his audience. It's clear that Niles' excellence is well recognized throughout the legal field given his position on the Rules Committee for the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals for the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Further, Niles stays at the forefront of his practice with continuous legal education epitomized by his Board Certification in Criminal Appellate Law. If you are searching for an advocate and unrivaled representation in post-judgement or post-conviction work, then you ought to reach out to the attorney relied on by his peers Niles Illich.

He just won on a Summary Judgement Appeal on my Erroneous DNA Paternity Lawsuit against two labs. He was able to convince three appellate Judges to overturn the Summary Judgement. This case is a very unusual case. His win in the Appellate Court was an extremely difficult endeavor. He had to win ...on all the issues that had to be won. He won on all of them. There are already articles online about his recent win on this case. When I walked into his office to discuss appealing case. I felt so defeated and damaged at what happened in lower court with Summary Judgement being granted. I knew I had to fight the lower court finding. I hired Niles to represent me in the Appeal. He is extremely cautious. He certainly made me no promises. But, he said he was willing to try. Last week he won the Appeal! Huge Victory! I cannot say enough good things about this Attorney! If you want a top tier Appellate Attorney Niles Illich is that guy. Just to be clear Niles had nothing to do with what happened in the lower Court decision. I went to see him after I had lost in the lower Court. Niles does Criminal and Civil Appeals. He is fluent in very complex cases.

After my significant other was convicted in a medical fraud case, we needed to hire a competent appeals attorney to address several issues in the trial that we believed should be appealed. I wanted an attorney who I thought would not only believe in this case but also have the skills and mindset to ...research every possible angle to create a successful appeal. When I read Niles' profile and biography, I knew he was the right attorney. His educational background says it all... he is a man who has a passion for study and research. With multiple degrees, he's done his work!! Over the months of working with Niles, I've come to understand that appellate work is an art as well as skill. Statistically, the chances of success are not high but to have an attorney who approaches this process both passionately and compassionately has meant the world to me. For the little details: Niles communicates every important detail in a timely manner. He gets "the paperwork" done on time. If he says he going to do something, consider it done! Expect a call when you don't expect it because he's thought of a little protective advice he should impart. Your case will not be just another case for him to collect a fee. Niles has gone the extra mile for this case, both personally and professionally. I would highly recommend Niles Illich!

I have used Niles for a legal matter, and I have found Niles to be an excellent attorney. He handled the matter in an efficient and professional manner, with my interests always at the top of his concerns. I would highly recommend Niles for your legal work. He is an exceptional appeals attorney, w...ith experience and knowledge of the Dallas County judicial system. If you need this type of attorney (you know, the ones that can get things done, not sell you a line of legal services to jack up the fee), give him a call. Again, I highly recommend Niles!

Niles is the best attorney I've dealt with, and I've dealt with quite a few. He wrote a writ for me to try to undue a judge's order added to my conditions of probation that was unconstitutional. He does his research and he keeps you informed every step of the way. His writs are a masterpiece t...hat leads the reader to the only conclusion that makes sense. They are well researched, perfectly written, and reference only the most relevant cases that will have the clearest precedent set related to your issues. He really does have your best interests in mind and will tell you if he cannot help in your situation and if someone else will be better suited. If you don't have a strong case, he will tell you up front and give you all of your options. If you feel like something happened to you with the legal system that didn't feel fair, there is a good chance that Niles will know the route to take to best take care of the issue and protect your rights. I've used him, recommended him, and will continue to recommend him.
