Appellate Law

Having a legal team on your side that can handle both the trial level and the appellate level in your case can often be the difference between winning and losing. Appeals are one of the most complicated areas of law, requiring a team of attorneys who are experienced and accomplished in precise and well-researched legal writing. We pride ourselves on our continued success in appellate cases, whether they be in state court, federal court, at the intermediate level, or at the Supreme Court. National estimates put the average win rate of an appeal at 5-20%. At the Law Offices of Ronald L. Schwartz, we pride ourselves on an appellate win rate of over 50% in the last decade. Representing both Appellants and Appellees alike, whether it be a novel question of law, statutory construction, a criminal conviction, or anything in between, we bring a thorough and sophisticated approach to all appeals.

If you’ve recently lost a court case, whether that be by dismissal, summary judgment, a jury verdict, or anything in between, the amount of time you have to appeal that decision may be incredibly narrow. Likewise, if you have recently won your case and the other side is appealing that win, you may only have a few short weeks to respond once the case goes up on appeal. Hiring an accomplished, competent appellate attorney makes all the difference in getting a case reversed or affirmed on appeal. Do not hesitate, or you may waive significant rights.
