Clients
have as much riding on appeals as on the lower court proceedings
— perhaps more, because appeals often have broader significance
than merely resolving the case at hand. Effective and successful
appellate advocacy requires skills that differ from those
used in trial practice.
Our appellate lawyers possess outstanding analytical, writing,
and oral advocacy skills, as well as the knowledge and experience
required to represent clients effectively at this level. Many
of our attorneys began their careers as judicial law clerks to
trial and appellate court judges, giving them considerable insight
into the issues and concerns that motivate appellate judges.
In addition to the many appeals on cases that we have handled from
their inception, we regularly are retained by new clients disappointed
with results at the trial level who seek a fresh perspective and
objective reassessment of the case on appeal. Clients also engage
us to write amicus curiae briefs, and to work with other
trial counsel to ensure that litigated matters are properly postured
for appeal.

Our
understanding of the unique nature of appellate practice, combined
with our unwavering commitment to exhaustive legal research, excellent
written work, and thorough preparation for oral argument allows
us to maximize our clients’ prospects for a favorable appellate
outcome.
