Appellate

Appellate courts exist because even the best-intentioned judges and juries make mistakes. Sharp, skilled appellate advocacy, based on thorough knowledge of the law and concise, persuasive writing, can obtain reversal of even the most disastrous trial court result or preserve a vital victory. This is not just something we know; it is something we do. And we do it regularly, all over the country.

A successful appellate result rests on knowing the right lawyer to use in the right setting. Even outstanding trial lawyers don’t always make great appellate lawyers. We understand the difference and know how to employ the right personnel to handle the appellate part of any case, while integrating the trial team to ensure the best result on appeal.

Our appellate lawyers—for more than 30 years—have won dozens of important decisions for our clients, earned countless published decisions to their credit, and been regularly asked to present amicus briefs in federal and state appellate courts. The members of LLG’s appellate team excel at appellate writing and advocacy, having developed their skills over the span of thousands of hours before state and federal appellate courts throughout the nation. Our team is always willing to provide that fresh set of eyes you need on your case if you seek to reverse or defend a result not initially handled by LLG.
