The appellate system is quite different from trial court. Having the skill to handle challenges of litigation is not enough to pursue an appeal effectively. To be persuasive on appeal, an attorney also needs strong research and communication skills, a clear understanding of the appellate rules and processes, and the ability to parse subtle legal concepts to a quick thinking group of appellate judges who pose esoteric and public policy questions while applying the law to the facts in your case. It is an intricate task.

On appeal, you have to persuade appellate judges who will consider the impact of your arguments upon other cases and on society at large. A competent appellate lawyer must be a meticulous researcher, a logician, and a passionate advocate for good law.

We take a wide variety of cases on appeal that were originally heard in state or federal trial courts, from personal injury lawsuits to insurance bad faith claims and beyond. Nothing counts more than experience. Attorney Cynthia C. Tester handles many appeals each year, and prides herself on her ability to get up to speed quickly and advocate for our appellate clients as if she had tried their cases herself.
