The same logic applies to complex or difficult appeals. The chances for a favorable outcome are maximized by retaining a lawyer who has significant appellate experience.

The Appellate Lawyers guide provides a concise and up-to-date overview of leading appellate lawyers across the country. Our research covers all 50 states, with featured attorneys being selected based on the results of peer nominations, in-depth research, and client feedback.
