Appellate Practice

While lawsuits are most often concluded following settlement, dispositive motions or trial, the dissatisfaction of a litigant with a trial court’s decision may result in an appeal. The Firm’s appellate practice necessarily covers various areas of the law. Appellate work requires skill and legal research and persuasive writing beyond that required at the trial court level. The skills of Chen Horwitz & Franklin’s appellate lawyers are evidenced by the many appeals they have appeared in over the years, which include:
