If you are unsatisfied with the outcome of your case, or think that the judge in your case made a material legal or factual error, an appeal via an appeals lawyer to a higher court may be your only option to have the mistake corrected. A legal appeal is a formal request for a higher court to reconsider part or all of a case that has already been decided by a trial judge — basically a request that a new court reconsider the decision of the first court.
Cooley & Handy’s appeals attorneys are experienced in all aspects of appeal and appellate law, so we can maximize the chances that your appeal will be successful. The appellate attorneys at Cooley & Handy can handle any appeal – even if they were not involved in the original or underlying case. In fact, new appellate counsel can often bring a fresh perspective to a case, or identify issues that may have been overlooked.
Because the time in which a litigant may file an appeal is short – most often within 30 days of the decision with which the person disagrees – it is important to act promptly to retain an experienced appellate attorney.
