Expert Appellate Attorneys Delivering Results

At Melvin & Melvin, PLLC, we understand the importance of navigating the appellate process with precision and skill. Whether you are seeking to challenge an unfavorable decision or defend a favorable one, our experienced appellate attorneys provide the expertise and advocacy needed to achieve your desired outcome.

Our Appellate Services

Our team will handle your appeal with the highest level of professionalism and expertise. We represent individuals, businesses, and organizations in civil appeals in a variety of appellate matters, including:

  • Commercial disputes
  • Real estate disputes
  • Personal injury and other torts
  • Family law
  • Trusts and estates disputes
  • Other civil matters

Our attorneys represent clients in all New York state and federal appellate courts, advocating for reversing, modifying, or affirming trial court rulings. We will consult with you to develop an appellate strategy, providing advice on the likelihood of success, procedural requirements for your appeal, the applicable deadlines, and the potential grounds for appeal. We will thoroughly review the relevant documents, including motions, court transcripts, evidence, and decisions. This information will then be used to prepare a well-crafted appellate brief containing persuasive legal arguments and relevant case law to support your position. We will also argue your case before the appellate court.

Motions

Melvin & Melvin, PLLC, can also assist you in preparing or opposing summary judgment motions in your ongoing case. Not only can a summary judgment motion determine the outcome of a case without going to trial, but it also sets the background for any future appeal and can even influence settlement. Summary judgment can also be used to strategically limit the issues for trial, thus reducing the duration, cost, and risk of a trial.

If you believe the trial court did not deliver the justice you deserve, or your opponent is challenging a decision that went in your favor, do not leave your case to chance. Contact Melvin & Melvin, PLLC, today for a consultation. Let us guide you through the appellate process with confidence and expertise.
