Leech Tishman’s Appellate team has a depth of experience representing clients in appellate cases before state and federal courts, including the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, the New York Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court of California, and U.S. Courts of Appeal, and administrative agencyies. Members of our team have held clerkships in various courts across the United States, so they are uniquely experienced with the appellate processes both on the state and federal levels.
Our team of experienced litigation attorneys draft motions and petitions that convince appellate court judges to exercise their discretionary power to review a case. Leech Tishman’s Appellate team is trained to identify the legal and procedural issues that form the basis of a successful appeal, and our attorneys have particular knowledge with respect to the rules and procedures that apply to the presentation of a case on appeal, which differ drastically from those involved in civil trials. Our attorneys are trained to analyze your case, determine if there is merit for an appeal, provide you with an honest assessment as to the likelihood of success, and develop a strategy to achieve a favorable decision. We have developed a robust team of attorneys who are experienced in both raising and defending appellate cases, and who will craft a strong legal strategy to prevail in appellate court.
