A word about appeals is in order. In Wisconsin, the losing side in any lawsuit has the right to appeal a trial decision to the Court of Appeals. An appeal is not another trial. It is a written argument to a 3-Judge Court, supported by documents and transcripts. Occasionally the Court of Appeals decides that the written arguments need to be supplemented by oral arguments from the lawyers involved.
Appeals can be costly and time consuming.
We will undertake an appeal only after apprising you fully of the benefits and drawbacks of such actions. We hope you find this information helpful.
