Please check out my website www.caappellatelawyer.com I limit my practice to CIVIL APPEALS, although I occasionally do litigation. However, I take on a case at the trial court level only when asked to do so by friends or professional acquaintances.

My attorney Jeanne Marie Collachia

My relationship with attorney Jeanne Collachia is ideal. She has been 100 per cent truthful and forthcoming in all our interactions. She is impressively literate and concise in her correspondance relating to my legal situation and has always been timely in her communications with me. It has been a...pparent from the beginning that Jeanne has put my concerns and my situation at the forefront of her activities on my behalf, rather than the eventual financial result of my case. .

JEANNE IS A WINNER, SHE MADE ME A WINNER

I was unjustly accused of stealing a church that I started and managed for many years, out of envy and greed, I was lied against, taken to court and lost due to carelessness on the part of my attorney, on the basis of lies, then I hired Jeanne who researched the case and wrote a brief, she and her t...eam worked on this case tiredlessly, she took it like a personal case while comforting me all the way. she exude so much confidence I was so impressed at her mastery of the case, it was as if she had been part of the case all along, she would update me on a regular basis, she fought the case like a bull, and the judgment was overturned. I later understand that not a lot of attorney specialise in Appeal case. this woman is good I recommend her greatly.

Excellent attorney

She is the kind of lawyer put her heart into your case. She works extremely hard on your case. She lives on her professional reputation. My previous lawyer just take your money and do nothing on your case. Jeanne is very professional and ethical. I am very lucky to have her as my attorney. Also, her ...fee is fair and reasonable. I highly recommend this lawyer.

The BEST, bar none!

This attorney is amazing! I have seen her involved in every kind of civil case known to man, as well as misdemeanor criminal cases, and she ALWAYS wins! Whenever I have a legal problem, I go to her. She is level headed, smart as a whip, and a feminist to boot! Whoopee! Her legal writing is the m...ost incredible thing I have ever seen. No wonder she usually wins all her appeals! She takes a really complex subject and spells it out for the judge and whoever else may be reading her brief in a simple, easy-to-understand way, so no matter if those in power may be running on 2 hrs.' sleep and just do not want to exert the brain power to properly evaluate a claim, they will have no problem with Jeanne Collachia's briefs. She has very high integrity and can be trusted absolutely. Oh, and did I say she comes very inexpensively (compared to all the hotshot lawyers in, say, Century City)? She is a bargain and a half.

Appeals lawyer | Feb 17

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Jeanne Collachia is an outstanding and ethical attorney in all respects. My legal background is in civil litigation, contract & business law, and media business & legal affairs. I have worked with Ms. Collachia on a number of appeals. These include trademark infringement, breach of contract, and (most recently) a worker's compensation writ. She is precise, detail-oriented, and brilliant in her logical analysis. She does thorough reviews of the underlying documents, has excellent research skills to find all possible appellate issues, writes concise briefs to explain the client's story clearly, and is persuasive in her oral presentation in court. She is thoughtful regarding client needs and seeks to carry out the client's goals to the full extent of the law."
