Appeals

The trial and appellate processes are as dissimilar as two parts of the same system can be, and while most attorneys have some familiarity with appellate practice and procedure, few view it as a regular part of their practice. So often, a small firm is maintained by case volume, and volume necessitates efficiency. In cases like this, or when an attorney simply does not feel inclined or equipped to litigate an appeal, Kurtz & Augenlicht can step in on referral and represent your client on appeal.

Our attorneys have highly refined appellate skills, driven by practical knowledge and experience on appeals and refined with a wealth of academic study. Not only do we have a wealth of advocacy skills, our experience working for the Appellate Court gives our firm a unique insight into the the appeals process that few other firms can claim.

Even if you plan on bringing an appeal yourself, Kurtz & Augenlicht offers appellate consultations for a wide range of purposes, in particular brief review and oral argument preparation. For a small fee, we can look over your work and help you figure out arguments and language to help sway the justices to your client's side.
