Appellate law is a unique niche skill in the legal field. Trial lawyers may choose to retain an appellate law firm to mount an appeal on behalf of a client.
Our appeals practice includes the following:
Real estate controversy: We help clients involved in tenant disputes, boundary disputes, real estate trust disputes, transaction disputes, easement and covenant issues, title challenges, and other real property conflicts.
Fiduciary issues, including probate and estate legal appeals: If you believe that the judge erred or there was a mistake made in procedural law, we can evaluate the case and help you understand whether it is appropriate to file an appeal in a probate or estate dispute.
Divorce disputes, parental rights, and family law appeals: These appeals occur when one party in the divorce believes that the judge has made errors in a legal proceeding. Any part of a divorce judgment can potentially be appealed, including child custody or property settlement. Also, U.S. constitutional issues are relevant to any termination proceeding.
Business and corporate law appeals: We can handle complex corporate and business dispute appeals, including business dissolution issues, contract disputes, and trade secrets litigation.
