Best & Flanagan’s experienced appellate attorneys have the skills and knowledge to maximize your chances on appeal. Our appellate lawyers have extensive appellate briefing experience and frequently present appellate oral arguments in state and federal appellate courts.
We can handle your appeal in its entirety, or add a fresh approach to your case strategy by working in collaboration with your existing or trial counsel. Our appellate litigators also add value to trial court proceedings, by lending an appellate-focused perspective at the pleading stage, as well as when bringing or opposing motions to dismiss or for summary judgment.
An appellate perspective is also critical to apply to pretrial submissions, such as motions in limine and jury instructions. We can also advise in making the record and preserving issues during trial, provide trial monitoring on high-value or high-stakes matters, and handle or assist with post-trial motions, where the appellate issues are often framed.
With backgrounds as judicial clerks and leaders and members in appellate bar associations, and dozens of appeals under our belts, our appellate litigators have the experience and perspectives to give you a strategic edge on appeal.
