Appellate Practice

Appellate Practice:  Civil, Family and Criminal Appeals in State and Federal Courts,  Administrative & Immigration Appeals, More ….

 

Attorney Larry R. Fleurantin chairs the Appellate Practice for the firm. 

The firm has experience representing individuals and corporations on appeals in state and federal courts.  The firm’s appellate litigation portfolio is overflowing with accomplishments some of which are of great importance to our clients. In particular, many of the firm's appeals have resulted in published opinions.  Publication of court decisions is reserved for the cases that involve important issues of law.  Once published, these cases become the established law and are binding on all trial courts. Appellate practitioners—whose cases result in published opinions—have advanced the cause of justice. Whether they win or lose, these attorneys have contributed to the development of the law where there were no clear answers to certain questions of law and have assisted the appellate courts in fulfilling their institutional responsibility in setting legal precedents. To read some of the reported opinions, please click the link on the case name below.
