Appellate Law

Trial proceedings are often only the first step in the litigation process.  Before, during, or after trial, one or more parties may choose to appeal an adverse ruling in the case.  Our appellate attorneys know what to do when that happens.  We have extensive experience in all areas of appellate litigation—interlocutory appeals, extraordinary writs, and post-judgment appeals.  We have represented clients in hundreds of cases covering a broad range of substantive and procedural issues before state and federal appellate courts, including the Arkansas Supreme Court, the Arkansas Court of Appeals, the New York Court of Appeals, the United States Courts of Appeals for the Second, Fifth, Eighth, and Ninth Circuits, and the Supreme Court of the United States.  Our appellate attorneys handle appeals for matters in which we conducted the trial court litigation, as well matters that were originally handled by another firm.

We have the skills and insights necessary to win an appeal. Our attorneys evaluate the unique issues and opportunities that each case presents and develop winning strategies for advocating our clients’ positions to the court.
