Appellate advocacy is often thought of as the most intense and hyper-technical practice area in litigation due to the sheer volume of appellate procedural nuances that invite common pitfalls which could result in the dismissal of an appeal without even reaching the merits. Without experienced appellate attorneys to navigate the appellate process, appellate success may be jeopardized. 

But even where the most careful of attorneys that get through the procedural hurdles of the appellate process are faced with the daunting task of advocating for their client in the appellate courts which are often the courts of last resort for litigants. Simply put, appellate practice carries an inherent gravity of finality that oftentimes includes a ripple effect by setting industry-wide precedent on issues of first impression that reach far beyond a single appeal.
