Minnesota Appeals Attorney

Appellate Lawyer in Minneapolis & Saint Paul

For dedicated, innovative, and confident appellate advocacy in pursuing or defending an appeal, contact me, a Minnesota appeals lawyer in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

I represent appellants and respondents in civil cases (of course, not in the same case!).

Appeals require an attorney with superb writing skills and oral communication talents. I believe I have an excellent combination of skills to provide you with the legal representation you are seeking.

In many practitioners' opinions, appellate courts are more and more relying on the appellate brief when judging appeals, because the resources of the courts are either stagnating or declining in many jurisdictions despite the increase in caseloads.

To that end, it is critical in many cases for the appellate attorney to be able to create a persuasive appellate brief to try to win the appeal before the parties even set foot within the court of appeals.

Still, oral argument is not something to ignore. In either asking to overturn or asking to uphold the trial court's judgment, the appellate lawyer must be able to deliver persuasive arguments and think on his or her feet when answering questions from the bench. Not all lawyers have this ability. Even many who are capable decide not to engage in appellate practice. And for good reason: It can be brutal.

I am willing to consider taking on almost any case, whether you have won at trial or lost at trial.
