Appeals
The verdict at the end of a trial is not necessarily the final determination of the matter. Many judgments are modified, reversed, remanded, or overturned by the appellate courts. However, many competent trial lawyers cannot effectively present an appeal, because appellate work requires unique experience.
Appellate practice is a special area of law. Your appellate lawyer must know the practices and procedures that are specific to appellate courts. Your appeals lawyer must have the ability to spot appealable issues, and develop a new approach and perspective to a difficult legal problem. Most importantly, your appeals lawyer must be a master of written and oral communication, since the appellate courts rely on appellate briefs and oral arguments to affirm or overturn a decision.
At the law Office of Jill R. Flagg, we have much experience and many victories in the appellate court. Our victories have led to reversals of convictions at the trial court level to serious reductions in an individual’s sentence. We will brief and argue appeals before both state and federal courts.
We are committed to helping our clients achieve their objectives with the highest quality legal advice. We handle your current legal problems, and anticipate potential legal issues which you may face.
