Appellate Support When You Need it Most There is a growing trend among successful attorneys when the stakes are high toward the involvement of appellate counsel during trial or even during the earlier phases of litigation, particularly in anticipation of a possible appeal. Engaging experienced appellate counsel before or during trial can be a powerful tool in formulating issues, preserving the record for appeal, and constructing dispositive motions and jury instructions.  Our litigation support role spans from researching and drafting pleadings through post-judgment phases of trial, including: Preservation of error Summary judgment and other dispositive motions Post-trial motions Each of these areas, although not strictly part of the appeals process, are closely entertwined with it. Working with an experienced appellate adjunct allows smaller firms and sole practitioners to provide their clients with full litigation service and broader expertise, and to retain clients they might otherwise have to refer to a larger firm. Our office is available to collaborate with trial counsel on a flexible basis below and on appeal. Referral fees are available in select cases. If you feel that you or your client may benefit by involving appellate counsel prior to an appeal, please feel free to contact us to discuss your current needs. Home Why Hire Appellate Counsel?
