Manhattan Family and Criminal Appeals Attorneys
Although judges at the trial level are generally diligent and thoughtful, sometimes these judges make mistakes. When judges make errors in criminal and family matters, it can cause significant harm. Every litigant has the right to appeal a decision. The lawyer you choose to take your appeal can make a great difference in the eventual success or failure of your appeal.
The NYC appellate court attorneys of Kliegerman & Joseph LLP concentrate our appeals practice on criminal and family appeals. Ronald Kliegerman heads up our criminal defense practice. He has represented numerous defendants who were incorrectly found guilty at the trial level. Michael Joseph leads our family law practice. He represents clients in all types of family appeals, from divorce appeals to custody determinations. Both of our lawyers have been involved in numerous published appeals in New York appeals courts. We will work closely with you throughout the case. In the earliest parts of your appeal, we will provide our opinion as to the strongest arguments on appeal and your likelihood of success. In this way, you will have some idea of what to expect in the legal process.
Appeals Can Be Won or Lost on the Strength of the Brief
Although oral arguments are a vital aspect of the appeal process, the most important part of an appeal is often the written brief. Your appellate attorney must be able to thoroughly review the record and find all instances in which the trial judge did not have an appropriate basis for his or her ruling. Your appellate attorney must then support each part of the appeal with a compelling legal precedent.
We will closely review the record to find the errors of law or fact at the trial level and prepare a persuasive appellate brief. In oral arguments, you can count on our lawyers to convincingly and persuasively answer the judge's questions.
