When judgments or orders are entered in court cases or in administrative proceedings, the judgment is generally more favorable to one party than the other. Sometimes judgments and orders contain errors or are not in conformity with the law. Once a judgment is entered, parties who are subject to an adverse decision generally have a very limited period of time in which they may file an appeal so that they may seek to correct such errors.  Specific and separate procedures, rules, and standards apply to appeals and strict compliance with these requirements is generally required in order to be successful.

The Appellate Law attorneys at Gess Mattingly & Atchison, P.S.C. understand that the prospect of appealing a decision or defending an appeal can often be confusing and daunting.  This is especially so because appellate practice is highly specialized and involves different standards and procedures than general litigation practice.  Our attorneys are skilled and experienced with assisting clients in assessing, understanding, and weighing the costs and benefits of any prospective appeal, as well as working to pursue or defend appeals in a way that is effective, efficient, and responsive to the client’s needs.
