How Strong And Effective Legal Writing Paves The Way For Success On Appeal

Much of our success in appellate work derives from our strengths in legal research and writing. Persuasive, well-crafted briefs are often the key to success on appeal. Unlike at trial, where oral arguments and presentation of evidence to a jury are crucial, appeals are typically decided by a panel of judges on the strength of the briefs alone. That is where our lawyers shine, with multiple appellate decisions attesting to their success, including the following published opinions:
