Appellate Attorneys in Dallas

Civil Appeals in State & Federal Courts

Litigation has evolved in Texas and elsewhere to the point that the verdict at trial is only part of the battle. Verdicts are appealed and the fight begins all over again. An unfavorable verdict or ruling from the trial court gets appealed to try to “fix” what happened in the trial court. These scenarios play out over just about any case that goes to trial. Understanding the dynamics of the legal issues for getting a case affirmed or reversed on appeal is just as important as the facts and law in the trial court below. Our experienced appellate attorneys can help. Whether the case is being reviewed by an intermediate appellate court or the supreme court, our nationwide lawyers understand the strategies that work on appeal and the climate that effects your case in the particular forum.

Keeping Your Legal Options Open

Appellate courts do not retry cases, nor do they hear new evidence. As a result, it is important to lay the groundwork for a successful appeal during your trial. If the evidence is not there, it cannot be introduced during the appeals process.

Appellate courts review what happened during the trial. Judges can make mistakes, and the appeals court has the final word on what the law is and whether the judge followed proper procedures. The outcome of an appeal may be an affirmation or reversal of the lower court ruling, a damage award set aside or lowered, or even a re-trial with the lower court.

Our experience in appeals runs the depth and breadth of the civil law, including:

We can evaluate the issues for your case to help ensure a trial court judgment has a predictable outcome on appeal. We can handle the case after an appeal and employ the best strategies to attack the result in the lower court or make sure the trial court’s ruling or judgment is affirmed.

Our appellate lawyers have handled cases before the Texas Supreme Court, Texas intermediate appellate courts, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and even the United States Supreme Court, among others.
