Ron worked on my business contracts, connected me with another great attorney for my online and name branding work, and provided me with suggestions and input that gave me a higher level of knowledge and comfort needed in this most litigious world. He was amazing to work with. I am grateful!

Ron was referred to me by my attorney, as they did not handle small claims against a business. Ron was extremely quick respond to any question I had (which were quite a few), even answering emails on weekends. His prices were reasonable, and he was able to resolve my issue quickly. I am not a big fan of lawyers, as I think most of them are crooked / corrupt, but I did not get that vibe at all with Ron. He was even kind enough to refer me to someone else when he didn't have the answer. Many people would not do this.
I would definitely use Ron again, if I need legal representation.

I needed advices on what to do with the current house I'm renting and I contacted Ron's office, left him a message and he got back with me right away. We had a long conversation over the phone. I've told him all of the issues and he listened and gave me advices and choices. We haven't taken the next legal steps yet, but I'm just grateful that Ron is so caring and friendly and even just speaking with me for as long as he did. I really appreciate it all!! Ron is a super kind soul that really cares about people. Thank you Ron. :)

I was represented by Mr. Roling recently when I was named in a medical malpractice claim that was without merit. Mr. Roling was relentless in his defense. He was VERY knowledgeable and experienced. He prepared for my defense to the smallest detail. He kept me posted on the case as it progressed and was readily available whenever I had a question or was simply getting a little anxious. I hope to never have to go through another malpractice claim again; but if I do, I would want Mr. Roling as my attorney. I would recommend him without reservation.

Mr. Roling guided me successfully through my first (and hopefully only) malpractice case. He is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in malpractice defense. He listened to my concerns and did a great job of guiding me through the case. Mr. Roling used excellent expert witnesses. While I would never want to go through another trial, if I did, I would be confident having Mr. Roling represent me.

David Roling provided an excellent defense in my malpractice case. He understood the issues and provided a well constructed argument that the jury could understand. 25 minutes for them to rule in my favor!!! He also kept me informed throughout the entire process so I knew what to expect from the day I received the complaint to trial.

Mr. Kevin Hanbury was assigned to me as the attorney for my Dad's estate by the Probate Judge and oversaw the 2 year process from start to finish. I had no knowledge of handling the cumbersome task as Guardian of the estate, but Thanks to Mr. Hanbury, I had someone to walk beside me and guide me through the process, putting my mind at ease. I would give 10 stars if I could. Mr. Hanbury's overall professionalism, communication, organizational skills and education reguarding the entire estate process are stellar. Mr. Hanbury will get the job done and can be relied upon.......A true asset to anyone that decides to utilize his services. I highly recommend this attorney.

After the passing of our mother, my family had to contend with some tedious and complexed legal issues ,where ownership of property was at stake. By referral from a family friend we were connected to Attorney Kevin Hanbury. He was thorough and always available to answer our questions. He was very polite and definitely had our interest at heart. I highly recommend ( without hesitation) this attorney. He is one of the best I have encountered for our family issue. I will definitely be calling upon his expertise again.

I’m a 36-year-old software engineer living in the Midwest. Most of my early life I never had good credit. 3 months ago my credit scores were 580 low 600s. I was obviously not happy with those scores so I started to clean up my credit. Opened 2 secured cards; Discover IT for 200; Navy Federal secured for 250. Did the pledge loan as well; self-account, stellar fi, boom for renting reporting, cap one only a 300 limit. Asking a family member to become an AU on their BOA still nothing changed instead my credit score kept dropping. Thanks PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST after reading so many reviews about them. When I got in touch with PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST my story changed for the better. He helped me delete all negative items on my credit report within 6 days. My current score now is 806 TransUnion 811 Experian and 802 Equifax. Here is his contact info:

After being injured in a car accident, Scott and his team helped me understand my rights. They were great at keeping me informed and made sure I was not taken advantage of by the insurance company. The team fought to ensure I received a fair settlement. I would definitely recommend Scott and his team to anyone who is dealing with a personal injury!

Even though my wife and I had a will, our life had seen many changes since the last will was prepared, agreed upon and signed. Since then we had started our own business, our children had grown up and left the nest plus grandchildren now had entered into the picture. She thoughtfully took us through several scenarios concerning the business, family, potential divorce situations, existing and future grandchildren, adopted, future children should our unmarried son marry someone already with children....adopted or not adopted. Did we need a trust.... was explored. Scenarios we had not thought of were explored with Janet's keen guidance. Most importantly, although I knew Janet through our mutual group for the last 4 years, my wife, who had never met Janet, was very pleased with her and came away confident that when the will was executed it would be consistent with our desires. I strongly recommend Janet. She is a pleasant, professional, thorough and competent lawyer.

Very patient, compassionate and thorough. Highly recommend her services!

I retained Robert 6 years ago for an appeal of a case which had dragged on for 5 years. He won the appeal handily. The case was remanded back to the lower court and Robert assumed that litigation as well, as he was familiar with the case. Robert brought the case to a successful conclusion, although it dragged on for another 5 years. Robert goes above and beyond the normal Attorney/Client relationship with constant communication and personal support.

I have known and worked with Robert Rivas as President of Final Exit Network for the past two years. Final Exit Network is a 501 (c)(3) organization, devoted to providing mentally competent persons who become members information on how to end their lives peacefully, painlessly, and quickly when they are suffering from an irreversible medical condition that is more than they can bear. We also offer a compassionate presence to any member who chooses to end his or her suffering. Authorities in GA, AZ, and MN have brought charges against our volunteers and Final Exit Network as violating their laws against assisted suicide. We believe, and we publicly state, that we do not violate laws against assisted suicide. Robert has lead our defense teams in all three jurisdictions, as well as personally argued on behalf of our volunteers and the organization, and has brought us to victory in GA and AZ. The legal issues in MN are ongoing, but we have good reason to believe that our team will also prevail there.
On top of his legal knowledge and acumen, Robert is articulate, circumspect, trustworthy, a fine writer and editor, and a pleasure to work with.

When Isabel first took our case it didn't look very promising. Our mother lost her job and insurance benefits in the summer of 2016 and she passed the following winter. She did not successfully transfer her life insurance to a separate policy so we didn't expect to receive anything. Isabel fought with the insurance companys to get our family the life insurance, and she went above and beyond when it came to making sure all our affairs were in order. She communicated to us every step of the way, and even if we didn't get the payout I would still highly recommend Isabel and her firm to anyone needing legal assistance.

I sought out Attorney Blanchette in order to comprehend what I needed to do to protect my child and myself during my divorce. She kept it real, was very understanding and very professional. I would seek her advice again and hire her in a heartbeat. If you want an attorney who is adamant about social justice and the rights of children in custody feuds, hire Blanchette because she is extremely intelligent and meticulously organized. It was evident to me that Blanchette cared about the welfare of my child as if it was her own child.

Christopher Bruce is an outstanding divorce attorney. He helped me get thru a very difficult period. He worked closely with both parties. If he does not know the answer he will research.

It’s not often you find a “divorce” attorney they is ethical, honest, and at the same time willing to do what needs to be done in the best interest of his/her client. That is exactly what you get when you retain Chris. From our first meeting, Chris laid out the facts of my not so simple divorce. Rather than try to take advantage of me as most attorneys would, Chris advised me to spend a little more (alimony) versus spending upwards of $5-10k to fight what may or may not have saved me the same amount. He could have taken my money and told me I had a decent chance of winning, but he chose to be honest and ethical. My divorce is just about 18 months in the rear view and things come up from time to time that I need Chris’s counsel. I’ve always been able to get a hold of him, and I’ve always received prompt and honest responses. While divorce should be your last resort (something Chris belives strongly), if you are in thay unfortunate situation do yourself a favor and have Chris represent you.

I got a recommendation from a friend to check out Chris Bruce to use as my divorce attorney. From our first meeting, I genuinely connected with Chris and knew that I would be using him when I was prepared for my divorce. He was down to earth, honest and simply a nice person. But I also felt that he could stand up to the challenges and complications of a divorce. A month later, when I was ready, he explained the cost and what complications could arise. He was always coming up with ideas that would help me capture the best financial outcome for myself. There were many ups and downs that are typical in a divorce, but I can say without hesitation that I would hire him again! He is professional, intelligent, and a genuinely nice person. Even my ex thought that he was a nice guy! Interestingly enough, I was told to interview at least 3 attorneys, but after I interviewed Chris, I knew that I would hire him, so the process of finding the right attorney became very easy!

While searching for a lawyer for my husband I ran into many different lawyers most ridiculously expensive or they just did not seem confident enough I reached out to Mrs downing after he heard of her through someone he was incarcerated with she instantly took weight off of my shoulders.

Her and Mr Shepard are a great pair I was beyond satisfied with their service and they blew my mind.

Ms. Downing worked on my case before the recent problems of Veterans trying to get their benefits from VA employees who are not Veterans, made the national news.
Having a 4.0 GPA in paralegal and criminal justice studies-graduating Summa Cum Laude soon, my perception is that any parties not approving Ms. Downing;s work and opposing my excellent rating, should support their position by sending me their 4.0 transcript, I will send anyone mine.

Melissa Loesch and her office provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism and personal attention to all details. Melissa's attitude to the work she does not only saved my life, it also helped me to avoid other problems that we normally don’t even think about such problems ahead. She knows them all and may foresee them, she is experienced enough to prevent them, and to give you the right advice on time, before any trial or verdict. My advice to any person who ever needs a criminal lawyer remains the same: If you decide to hire a lawyer, just go to “Roger Futerman & Associates” office in Clearwater, talk to Melissa Loesch and you will never regret it!

As I searched though the 'sea' of lawyers... I choose Halorin, over those with, maybe, more past case experience, etc., with mindset that she would give my case the special attention (& time) it required.
Halorin did exactly that!!
She handled my case, I felt, very personally, and I got professional results!!
Halorin was so great to work with, and made me feel very comfortable at every meeting. She kept me informed with each call, and eased my worries every step of the way.
I highly recommend Halorin and wish her continued success!!

Halorin and her associates recently helped me in a very difficult criminal case which was finally settled in my favor. Halorin took her time to learn about and understand my case from my perspective and was instrumental in what I consider a successful conclusion.
These matters are never an enjoyable experience, and that is why I felt it was important to express our satisfaction in the way Halorin handled our case. She didn’t treat us as simply a client, but rather, as a person undergoing significant strains emotionally, physically, and monetarily. Often, it seemed as if she was truly concerned with the stress we were going through and it was truly remarkable that an attorney could have the empathy which she showed us during our ordeal.
Professionally, Halorin examined, researched, and analyzed every facet of the case and advised us at every step of the way what our best course of action should be, and she was correct each time. Her knowledge of the facts in our case was second only to our own and the legal knowledge she applied was above and beyond what we might have expected, considering the unusual circumstances of our case.
All in all, I would highly recommend Halorin if you are involved in a criminal matter and I believe she will do her utmost to provide a comprehensive array of knowledgeable advice and legal support in your time of need.

Fakiha's knowledge, courtroom abilities and pre-trial preparation helped me get kids custody as well as a just and equitable division. She was instrumental in being able to communicate to the court my side of the story with facts and witnesses where required. There are no winners in family court but she did a great job in representing and fighting my case. Anyone going through a difficult time can always connect with Fakiha and get consultation and make a decision on their own to retain her services. I can highly recommend her based on my experience.

I retained Ms. Fakiha Khans legal services earlier this year. My sister was going through a very difficult divorce with her ex who was extremely conniving and abusive during the marriage. We had changed several attorneys , and the case had still not been finalized in 3 years! I lived in another state, my parents lived over seas, and my poor sister was left all alone to deal with this bad situation. Being a single mom with two little ones, she was thousands of dollars into attorney fees, not to mention the aggravation of dealing with the court system. Overwhelmed and disappointed, she did not know where to turn to when our last attorney started asking for more money.
A lady at the salon my sister went to recommended Fakiha Khan. The lady had gone through a similar experience with a controlling ex. We spoke to Fakiha on the phone, and immediately retained her services. It was the best decision we made!! Let me start by saying , Fakiha Khan is an amazing human being! She's has been there to guide us and advise in every step of the way. She has made herself available to listen to us and help us every time we've. needed her. This is a quality we have have been unable to find in any other attorney we have dealt with in the past. During our court trial, Fakiha was a shark! She was so well prepared, articulate, to the point, made sure she addressed all the issues important to us, and with minimal words and perfect examples was able to portray my sisters ex as he was. She also put up with no bullshit from the opposing attorney. And of course we won the case! Trust me when I tell you, she is fantastic! I expect for my sisters ex to create problems for her in the future, but I also know who I will be calling up when that time comes. Fakiha, thank you for all you have done for us! My sister and our family are very grateful to you. Whoever is reading this review, i guarantee you will be not be disappointed. I know this is a very long review, but I can't put into words how blessed and grateful we feel to have found someone as smart, kind and compassionate as Fakiha.

Ms Khan, has been my attorney for the past 2 years and every time, I’m so grateful that I found her to deal with my difficult and frustrating divorce!! Ms Khan is intelligent, knowledgeable and extremely efficient. She grasps the situation at hand quick and delivers. She has also represented me at court and did an amazing job in winning my case. She dealt with tact and being a bull dog of an attorney, which I required her to be at the same! Time again & again, she has impressed with her outstanding compassion and kindness! She is an asset to her firm and I’m so happy I have her to represent me!!

I made the biggest mistake of my life one night and was pretty sure that I had destroyed my career and my life. I called Rob on the recommendation of a friend and he immediately talked me off the ledge, showing care and compassion that an idiot like me did not deserve.. Once the proceedings started, Rob was as effective as could be imagined with regard to handling the case but more importantly he kept me fully informed about what was going on. He not only knows the law, he knows people and he knows how judges think. He framed my case to the court in such a way that I ended up getting supervision when I deserved much worse. In the end, Rob saved my butt with his great skill, I was truly lucky to hire him as my attorney.

I was in an unfortunate situation that was tremendously untimely. After consulting with 6 different lawyers, I decided to go with Mr. Jason Cromey. The reason Jason initially stood out to me was because of his incredible history in and out of the courtroom. I, without a doubt, am very happy that I put my trust into Jason. My case seemed like it was not going to end well for me. I felt like I had everything going against me. Jason was honest and straightforward with me the entire time. There was no sugar coating or anything of the sort. However, he still had a way of easing my mind throughout the process. He was honestly kind of amazing with the amount of time and research that he put into my case. Jason was able to find evidence in every little crack, that ultimately brought about a successful resolution in my case. I immediately felt a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders, and am now moving forward with my life. 10 out of 10 times, I would recommend my family and friends to hire Jason Cromey.

I feel like we were so blessed to have found Jason out of all the lawyers that's in Pensacola to have been able to find and use Jason was from God . We ended up in court over something that should have never gone to court and over a lie and another Lawyer not doing his JOB. So we have learned the importants of a good lawyer that what we found in Jason THE BEST he was Smart, Brillant in the courtroom, caring, Understanding, He Listen, He explain what was happening, he was a pleasure to be with, He was calm, He truly cares about his clients, You go in as a client and leave as a friend. Now don't think I feel this way because of our good outcome I told him before we ever went into the court room for the last time no matter what happen in here I appreciate all you have done because he did his best and I believed just that way.I am 63 years old never needed a Lawyer in my life and Jason was my Brothers lawyer and he (Jason) will tell you he wasn't my lawyer but he felt like my lawyer. He treated us with respect and he did his BEST and what more can you ask for. I would send any member of my family to him. That is how much faith I have in him.

He communicated very well for a busy lawyer even with many questions I had. I highly recommend him.

I found myself terrified when having escaped an abusive relationship my child's father sued me for full custody making a plethora of false accusations. I met with several attorneys that all required a revolving retainer and other financial hurdles until finding Hugh. He worked with me patiently on a financial set up and has had continuous victories against the multiple lawyers from designer firms the man suing me has employed. He is encouraging, honest and efficient. He responds to phone calls, texts and emails and has been an absolute life saver in a very challenging time. I have every confidence that Hugh is a superior lawyer and I am lucky to have discovered his services.

Hugh's wide-range of experiences helped me in many ways. He's extremely fair and thoughtful and is brutally honest, which I appreciate. He knows the law and will look for the best outcome for his clients. He'll look at all sides of an argument and provide both sides of a prospective decision, explaining in depth what it means for his client. He's a researcher, and will determine the best path for success. Hugh rectified an unfortunate disillusion settlement regarding child support for me, I have no doubt that his expertise will prove invaluable for you, as well. I would highly recommend Hugh McCloskey to anyone seeking legal representation!

We hired Mr. McCloskey to defend our 16 year old grandson. Mr. McCloskey took this to terms with his knowledge and determination, not just to help our grandson, but to fight the system to keep juveniles out of the adult system. He won't just take "NO" as an answer as he continues to file petitions with higher courts to right this. He continues to stay in touch and keep us informed of exactly where we stand with the system. So proud to have him as an attorney and would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants someone who will be there til the end as he has and continues to be for us!

In February of 2014 I needed an attorney to help me deal with an issue that I wasn't able to get anywhere on. After asking around I was referred to Katie Icenhauer-Ramirez, she was prompt, friendly, competent, and extremely helpful. She is very easy to deal with, if your issue isn't in her wheelhouse she will help you find an attorney who can help you. I feel completely comfortable saying that she is my first call if I need legal assistance again. I highly recommend her.

Mrs chandler has to be one of the best , if not “the best,”criminal defense Attormey around. I would know! After hiring 2 others and spending thousands of dollars , Mrs Chandler, was the only one I found to be knowledgeable and honest! She was the only one able to overturn a 10 years wrongful conviction in a matter of weeks. She did what other Attormey’s did not or could not do. She knows the law inside and out and is compassionate.
When I am asked if I know of a good , honest criminal defense attorney, she is the ONLY one I will refer. Hands down! I am blessed to have worked with her!!!

Helen is bright and very efficient. I would recommend her for any matter she would choose to handle.
I used Helen to sort out a domestic relations appeal that was very complicated and had been muddled up by several other prior lawyers. She obtained a favorable ruling that did not cost an arm and a leg. (They system took too long, but that was not her fault.) In the 4 years the matter took, Helen kept me informed and was always on task.
Again, I recommend her highly and would be happy to talk with anyone who wanted further information on my experience with her.

I can't say enough good things about Robert and his partner, James. From the very start, Robert was always there for me—day and night—going above and beyond to help me and my child. He truly cares about his clients and makes them his top priority. Robert is incredibly thorough, leaving no stone unturned, and he's not afraid to get his hands dirty to fight for what's right. His dedication is unmatched, and he never hesitated to do whatever it took to get the best possible outcome for me and my child. If you're looking for someone who will fight for you every step of the way, Robert is the attorney you need. Trust me, if you don’t choose Robert and James, you’re making a mistake!

I had some very bad lawyers represent me in my prolonged divorce case. Needless to say I carried much disdain in my heart for divorce lawyers. The opposing lawyer was a lawyer straight from hell. Two family members assisted me in getting Robert Hiltzik on board. Robert was able to move the case to completion and handled a very difficult case. He is a smart and competent attorney who gives sound advice and can handle even the most difficult situations. I would recommend Robert to anyone in need of a good attorney.

What an Appeals Lawyer Can Do for You
An appeals lawyer specializes in representing clients in appellate courts, challenging or defending lower court decisions. If you believe that a legal error was made during your trial or that the court’s decision was unjust, an appeals lawyer can help you appeal the ruling to a higher court. They work to identify mistakes made during the trial, such as improper application of law, exclusion of key evidence, or jury misconduct. On the other hand, if you're defending a favorable judgment, an appeals lawyer can help protect the decision from being overturned.
Appeals lawyers don’t retry the case but instead focus on legal arguments and procedural issues to convince the appellate court to either overturn, modify, or uphold the lower court’s decision.
When Should I Hire an Appeals Lawyer?
Hiring an appeals lawyer is necessary when you are involved in a legal appeal, either as the appellant (the party appealing the case) or the appellee (the party defending the lower court’s ruling). Common situations in which you should hire an appeals lawyer include:
- Appealing a conviction or ruling: If you’ve been convicted in a criminal case or lost a civil case and believe the decision was based on legal errors or improper procedures, an appeals lawyer can review the case and file an appeal on your behalf.
- Challenging a sentence: In criminal cases, if you feel that the sentence is excessively harsh or not in line with legal standards, an appeals lawyer can work to reduce or modify the sentence.
- Defending a lower court ruling: If the opposing party has filed an appeal to overturn a favorable ruling, an appeals lawyer can help defend the judgment and argue that the lower court’s decision should be upheld.
- Complex legal issues: If your case involves complicated legal issues or interpretations of the law, an appeals lawyer can provide the necessary expertise to argue those points effectively before an appellate court.
- Reviewing trial errors: Appeals lawyers can examine whether mistakes such as jury misconduct, improper exclusion or admission of evidence, or incorrect jury instructions occurred during the trial.
You should hire an appeals lawyer as soon as you decide to appeal or are informed that the other party is appealing the case, as appellate procedures are time-sensitive.
What Does an Appeals Lawyer Do?
An appeals lawyer provides specialized legal services to challenge or defend a lower court decision. Their role focuses on legal arguments, reviewing the trial record, and persuading the appellate court to either reverse or uphold the ruling. They can:
- Review the trial record: Appeals lawyers meticulously review transcripts, evidence, and rulings from the original trial to identify any legal errors or procedural mistakes that could be grounds for appeal.
- Prepare and file briefs: Appeals lawyers write legal briefs that present persuasive arguments to the appellate court. These briefs focus on the legal errors made during the trial and how they affected the outcome.
- Present oral arguments: In many appeals, lawyers present oral arguments before a panel of judges, explaining why the lower court’s decision should be reversed or upheld based on legal principles.
- Monitor case law developments: Appeals lawyers stay updated on changes in the law and precedents set by higher courts, which can be crucial in shaping the arguments they present during the appeal.
- Provide legal advice on the likelihood of success: Appeals lawyers can offer a realistic assessment of your chances of winning the appeal based on the legal errors and evidence from the trial.
How Are Appeals Lawyers Paid?
Appeals lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the appeal and the amount of work required to prepare briefs and present arguments. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many appeals lawyers charge by the hour due to the significant amount of research, writing, and preparation involved in appeals. Hourly rates can range from $200 to $600 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and the case’s complexity.
- Flat fee: For some straightforward appeals, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all the work necessary to complete the appeal.
- Retainer fee: In complex or high-stakes appeals, a lawyer may require a retainer, an upfront payment that covers the initial stages of the appeal. The lawyer then bills against this retainer for ongoing work.
It's important to discuss fees and costs upfront with your lawyer during the initial consultation to ensure you understand the financial commitment involved.
How Much Does an Appeals Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring an appeals lawyer varies depending on factors such as the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the amount of work involved. General cost estimates include:
- Straightforward appeals: For simpler appeals, such as those involving minor legal errors, fees can range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on the scope of work.
- Complex appeals: Appeals that involve complicated legal issues, multiple grounds for appeal, or high-stakes outcomes can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000 or more, especially if the case requires extensive legal research, brief writing, and oral arguments.
- Hourly rates: Many appeals lawyers charge hourly rates ranging from $200 to $600 per hour, with higher rates often associated with more experienced attorneys or particularly challenging cases.
Before proceeding with your appeal, it’s crucial to ask for a clear estimate of the costs involved so you can budget appropriately.
Top Questions to Ask an Appeals Lawyer
Before hiring an appeals lawyer, it’s essential to ask questions to ensure they are well-suited for your case and that you understand the appeals process. Important questions include:
-
What experience do you have with appeals?
Ensure the lawyer has substantial experience handling appellate cases, particularly in the area of law relevant to your case (e.g., criminal, civil, family, etc.). -
How do you charge for appeals?
Ask whether the lawyer charges an hourly rate, a flat fee, or a retainer, and request an estimate of the total costs for handling your appeal. -
What is the likelihood of success for my appeal?
A good appeals lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case’s strengths and weaknesses and the chances of winning the appeal. -
How long will the appeal process take?
Ask for an estimate of how long the appeal process might take, from filing the initial briefs to a final decision by the appellate court. -
Will you personally handle my appeal?
In larger law firms, junior attorneys or legal assistants may handle some of the research or drafting. Clarify who will be responsible for preparing and arguing your case. -
What is your approach to handling appeals?
Some lawyers may be more inclined to focus on procedural issues, while others emphasize broader legal arguments. Make sure the lawyer’s approach aligns with your goals.
How to Check the Credibility of an Appeals Lawyer
To ensure that you’re hiring a reputable appeals lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for appellate experience: Review the lawyer’s website or profile to ensure they specialize in appellate law and have successfully handled appeals similar to yours.
- Check client reviews and testimonials: Look for client feedback on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to get insight into the lawyer’s track record and client satisfaction.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their expertise and success in handling appeals.
- Look for recognition in appellate law: Membership in organizations like the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers (AAAL) or awards and recognition in appellate law can indicate a lawyer’s expertise in this specialized area.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with an appeals lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Trial transcripts and court records: The lawyer will need a complete record of the original trial, including transcripts, motions, exhibits, and the final judgment or order.
- Legal briefs from the trial: If any briefs or motions were filed during the trial, bring copies so the appeals lawyer can review the legal arguments that were presented.
- Written decision or verdict: Bring the court’s written ruling, verdict, or decision so the lawyer can identify any potential errors or issues to raise on appeal.
- Questions about the appeal process: Write down any questions you have about the appeal’s timeline, costs, and potential outcomes.
- List of potential legal errors: If you believe specific mistakes were made during the trial (e.g., improper evidence, legal misinterpretations), provide a list of those issues.
Being well-prepared for your consultation allows the lawyer to assess your case more effectively and provide the best guidance on how to proceed with your appeal.
