appeals is a very
00:06
niche area of family law i handle quite
00:09
a few appeals i wouldn’t say it’s
00:11
necessarily common
00:13
for family law attorneys to handle a lot
00:15
of appeals because it’s just not
00:18
something that happens all the time
00:20
but i would say that the important thing
00:23
you need to understand about appeals is
00:25
a very
00:26
technical legal process
00:28
having an attorney that knows what the
00:30
deadlines are that knows what
00:33
briefing requirements are for the court
00:36
of appeals that knows what legal issues
00:39
the court
00:41
looks at
00:42
in an appeal is very advantageous and
00:46
having also an attorney that has
00:48
experience at appeals
00:50
do your trial is helpful because
00:52
preserving your errors and trials so
00:55
making sure the objections are properly
00:57
stated making sure the record is clean
01:01
and making sure that’s there
01:03
helps the court of appeals make the
01:04
appropriate decision
01:06
it’s very difficult to find an
01:07
experienced appellant attorney and
01:09
that’s something that like i said is a
01:11
very niche area that i’ve handled quite
01:13
a bit we even often have trial attorneys
01:16
that reach out to me prior to trial
01:19
to ask questions about what should they
01:21
be looking at in the event the case
01:22
needs to be appealed
01:24
i also co-counsel attorneys a lot where
01:27
they will handle the trial and i handle
01:28
the appellate side to make sure that
01:30
things
01:31
are done correctly so when it does go up
01:34
on appeal i have a good record to work
01:36
with i have a good argument that i can
01:38
make for the court of appeals to make
01:40
the appropriate decision
