Appeals

2025 “Best Law Firms” – Appeals
2024 “Best Law Firms” – Appeals

Appeals are unique. The rules and procedures are specialized and specific. The strategies, arguments, and audience differ from what works at trial. Appellate counsel provide a fresh perspective on the legal issues in a case that trial counsel who are intimately familiar with the case cannot have.  

Our appellate team handles both in-house appeals and appeals referred to us by other trial counsel and clients, including appeals as a matter of right once an action is concluded and discretionary review proceedings to challenge or defend controversial trial court rulings before or during trial. We also draft amicus briefs in lawsuits to which our clients are not a party, providing the appellate courts with unique and impactful perspectives on the widespread effects that decisions may have on the healthcare and other industries. We advise and consult with trial lawyers as they prepare for trial, identify major issues that appellate courts will likely review, and counsel on the likelihood of successfully prosecuting or defending an appeal. Our services also include preparing jury instructions with an eye for eventual appeal, and ensuring a proper record is held to lay the groundwork for favorable appellate review. We have a proven track record of success in both state and federal appellate courts. Many of the most influential court decisions involving healthcare litigation were briefed and argued by attorneys from our firm.
