Appellate Advocacy
Appellate advocacy is a focused area of litigation that narrowly concentrates on what happened at the trial court level to determine if the trial court’s judgment should be affirmed or reversed. Dedicated appellate counsel with a comprehensive understanding of the appellate process is critical to success in bringing or responding to an appeal.
