Beyond helping our own clients, our attorneys have a history of affiliating with other firms to represent their clients throughout the appeals process, be that for large firms when cases present a conflict of interest or small firms or solo practices that need appeals practitioners they can trust. With more than 125 combined years of experience in appellate courts, our attorneys have provided representation in almost every industry including, among others, construction, technology, transportation, law enforcement, hospitality, and health care.
