Why You Need an Appellate Attorney
An appellate lawyer is a different type of attorney with a unique skill set. You wouldn’t expect your family doctor to perform brain surgery. Nor should you necessarily expect your or your loved one’s trial lawyer to prosecute an appeal. Instead, you need an appellate lawyer—top-rated appellate lawyer Nathan Swanson—to give a civil or criminal appeal the best possible shot at success.
What Makes an Appellate Attorney Different from Other Attorneys?
Appellate law is very research- and writing-intensive compared with trial law. An appeal is not a retrial or a “do-over.” It is a review of what already happened at trial. Usually, new evidence is not presented on appeal, and witnesses do not testify. The whole goal of an appeal is to review a trial court’s decisions and prove there were errors that resulted in an unfair outcome. The proceedings are mostly on paper.
That’s where you really get down to the letter of the law. Appellate briefs are the most critical piece of the appeals process. Appellate briefs are formal, bound, written documents—and they can be anything but “brief.” They contain all the legal arguments your appellate attorney is making on your or your loved one’s behalf, and they will make or break the case. That’s why it’s crucial to hire an experienced appeal attorney who specializes in writing compelling, convincing appellate briefs.
The appeals process involves many complexities and nuances that would escape the average lawyer. Only a highly attuned, experienced appellate attorney can pick up on the little things. These little things become the big things that build a solid appeal.
