Appellate Practice
Our attorneys have prosecuted and defended countless appeals in the state and federal appellate courts of Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia, frequently defending and maintaining favorable trial judgments when the opposing party has sought an appeal. Several of our lawyers have clerked for the Maryland appellate courts and have learned first-hand the requisites for success at that level. As a result of our representation as appellate advocates, we often receive referrals from trial attorneys to advance their clients’ interests on appeal, which means our attorneys are often retained after completion of the trial phase for the sole purpose of handling the appeal.
We have briefed and argued numerous cases in Maryland's Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, which selects for review only cases involving novel or complicated legal questions or significant public policy issues. Our petitions for review by that court have enjoyed an impressive success rate, and many of the cases in which we have served as counsel of record have ended up as reported appellate decisions.
