Appeals and Appellate Counseling
Whether you are a client engaging new counsel for an appeal or whether

lawyers have litigated dozens of appeals. Our appellate lawyers teach

critical. The selection of appellate counsel is an important decision, one
that is often misunderstood because all too many people assume that an
appellate lawyer is the same as a trial lawyer. Not so.
At its core, effective appellate advocates must know their audience of
judges and know the appellate courts. We do, because this is what we do.
Appellate advocates must be creative with the law. We are, because this is
