Do You Have Grounds to Appeal?
An appeal is not a new trial or even consideration of new information. It is a formal review of the trial record on the basis of "fatal" errors. To prevail, we must demonstrate that trial court errors were great enough to change the outcome and deny our client a fair hearing or trial. The goal is to nullify the ruling or verdict or overturn it and send it back for re-trial or reconsideration.
Trial lawyer Andrew Wagener is a partner and owner in the firm. He excels at writing concise and convincing appellate briefs, and is intimately familiar with appellate procedure in both the state and federal arenas.
