Losing a civil case can be a demoralizing experience – after all the stress, worry, expense, and time invested in the litigation, to achieve less than your desired result is an overwhelming problem. But filing for civil appeals can correct the problems from the lower court and allow you to receive justice.

When filing for civil appeals, one of the most important decisions you can make is your choice of counsel. It is often crucial to hire a new appellate attorney to handle your appeal – no matter how competent your trial counsel was at litigating cases at the trial level. New appellate counsel provide a fresh set of eyes, who can re-evaluate the evidence and arguments below and present them in a way that will appeal to Alabama’s appellate judges.

Presenting an appeal also often means identifying and confronting the things that went wrong at trial – including any mistakes that were made by the attorneys below. It is far easier for a new appellate attorney to do this than it is for an attorney to identify and attack his own mistakes on appeal.

In addition, civil appeals are very technical, and are subject to many specialized rules. Choosing counsel with appellate experience, who knows the Alabama appellate judges and the way they view the law, can make the difference between winning and losing your case.
