Not all litigation attorneys possess the unique skillset to properly handle appeals. Our attorneys have successfully represented both sides in appeals. Working from opposite perspectives has given us insights into both. As a matter of practice, we always provide clients with an honest assessment of their case and will be straightforward in setting expectations.
North Carolina courts impose strict filing timelines for appeals. Failure to meet these deadlines can result in a dismissal of the claim. If you have received an adverse ruling, you should consult with one of our qualified attorneys immediately.
We can assist with:
- Reviewing and editing proposed filings
- Conducting legal research on your case
- Composing appellate briefs
- Oral arguments
- Handling legal issues that occur during appellate cases
