Appellate Practice

Appellate practice is a specialized area of litigation that involves judicial review by appellate courts of lower-court orders and judgments.  Appellate advocacy brings to bear an attorney’s skill in writing legal briefs, researching complex or unsettled areas of law, and presenting oral arguments in appellate courts.  Whether a litigant was unsuccessful in a lower court and wishes to appeal, or successful and the other side appeals, it is critical that the attorneys retained to handle the appeal are skillful legal writers, proficient oral advocates, and well-versed in appellate practice.  Attorneys at Weiss Zarett Brofman Sonnenklar & Levy, P.C. have decades of experience in appellate advocacy, persuasive legal writing, and presenting oral arguments, and have handled appeals in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, the New York Court of Appeals, and in each of the four Appellate Divisions in the State of New York.
