OVERVIEW

Forceful advocacy when it matters most

Few legal matters have higher stakes than appeals. When outcomes are on the line — whether defending a favorable decision or contesting a loss — the complexities of an appellate case, including the factors involved in deciding whether to file an appeal, require careful consideration. The parties involved in an appeal need high-quality legal representation and advice.

Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig helps clients navigate each stage of the appellate process. With litigators, trial lawyers, and former law clerks to appellate judges at the federal and state levels, our appellate team has the expertise and practical know-how to crystallize complex issues, draft clear briefs, and make cogent oral arguments.

Our appellate advocacy experience

Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig has successfully represented clients before federal courts of appeals and state appellate courts. Our law firm has a team of dedicated professionals, including lawyers, staff, and paralegals, who work efficiently and effectively on appellate matters to achieve desirable outcomes for our clients.

Our record includes significant wins for clients in a variety of industries at the appellate level. Our lawyers have handled appeals in government contracting, patent infringement, and trademark, corporate, tort, and criminal law matters. In some cases, our advocacy has led to the establishment of new legal precedent. We have delivered favorable results for longstanding clients as well as new clients who needed us to step in once their case moved from the trial to the appellate level.

Whether we take the lead on an appeal or collaborate on an appellate matter with trial lawyers from another firm, we take pride in using our skills to deliver smart strategies and top-notch service.
