Hiring an appellate firm housed with experienced plaintiff’s trial lawyers offers several distinct advantages for your appeal:
- We Get the Big Picture:= As Plaintiff’s lawyers ourselves, we understand the unique challenges and goals that each case can present. This understanding fosters a collaborative and synergetic relationship between trial counsel and our firm where our firm can seamlessly build at the appellate stage on trial counsel’s efforts in the trial court. When you partner with us, you’re not just outsourcing an appeal; you’re gaining a collaborator, a strategist, and a confidant. Together, we can ensure that we keep our “eyes on the ball” to achieve our clients’ goals.
- Skilled in Crafting Persuasive Written and Oral Arguments: Trial experience hones an attorney’s ability to tell a client’s story in a compelling manner. This skill translates into crafting persuasive written briefs and delivering impactful oral arguments on appeal. To us, writing a brief and arguing before a panel of judges isn’t just advocacy, its an art.
- Other Direct Attacks on Judgments: Apart from a direct appeal following the issuance of the trial court’s final judgment, there are at least 3 other ways to directly attack a judgment:
- the motion for new trial filed in the trial court, which if denied will be appealed
- restricted appeal
- the bill of review, an equitable proceeding filed in the trial court.
- Collateral Attacks on Judgments: A collateral attack is a challenge to a court’s judgment brought in a proceeding separate from the original case in which the judgment was entered. Unlike a direct appeal, where the focus is on errors within the trial record that could warrant reversal or modification of the judgment, a collateral attack questions the fundamental validity of the judgment itself, often arguing that the judgment is void for reasons that go beyond the merits of the case.
