Appellate Law

In the legal realm, appeals represent a critical juncture where decisions from lower courts are reviewed and contested. Unlike initial trials, where the focus is on establishing facts and evidence, appellate proceedings hinge on the interpretation of law and its application.
Appellate advocacy requires a unique blend of skills and insights, making it a distinct field within legal practice. Crafting legal arguments requires an in-depth understanding of legal precedents and the ability to apply them effectively to the case at hand. Additionally, identifying lower court errors requires a meticulous review of previous proceedings and a thorough understanding of legal standards. Finally, presenting arguments in appellate courts demands exceptional written and oral advocacy. The ability to convey complex legal concepts clearly and persuasively is crucial.

At Powell & Majestro, our approach to appellate law is anchored in these principles. We bring extensive experience to the table, having navigated the complexities of the appeals process across various jurisdictions and at every level of the judicial system. We have had great success in a wide array of cases at the appellate level, ranging from personal injury to mass torts.

Our expertise extends to appealing adverse results. Other times we are retained to defend a successful result when the other side appeals. Since 2015, we have successfully defended judgments totaling $30 million.

Our legal team has shown the ability to handle the intricacies of even the most complex cases, ensuring that every legal avenue is explored and leveraged in favor of our clients. Whether it’s a nuanced argument before a state appellate court or a major appearance in the Supreme Court of the United States, our team is equipped with the depth of knowledge, experience, and advocacy skills necessary to effectively navigate the appellate landscape.
