For clients involved in lawsuits however, jury trials can be the most excruciating and gut-wrenching experience they have ever been through. If the plaintiff prevails at trial, judgment is entered in the court clerk's record. If those motions are unsuccessful, then the defendants can appeal the jury's verdict. That happens occasionally, but not very often. The plaintiff can also file an appeal.
Appeals take a long time and are very expensive to prepare and file.
