Preparation is the Foundation for Success on Appeal
More often than not, the key to winning an appeal in a high-stakes case is effectively framing and preserving potential appellate issues before and during trial. To maximize the chances of appellate success, Schaerr | Jaffe attorneys will review key pleadings, briefing, and evidence; discuss the case with the client’s trial team; and prepare a written plan for framing and preserving any potential appellate issues, whether they arise pre-trial or during the course of a trial.
