Appellate Law
Klein DeNatale Goldner's appellate attorneys are well-versed in identifying appealable judgments and discerning when statutory or common-law writs may be the only relief available. We know appeals and writs policies and procedures in various courts. We know and understand the presumptions on appeal and the standards of review, which can make or break your appeal or writ.

An appellate lawyer brings a fresh perspective to a case. As one Court of Appeal explained, new eyes are critical: "Trial attorneys who prosecute their own appeals...may have "tunnel vision."
Having tried the case themselves, they become convinced of the merits of their cause. They may lose objectivity and would be well-served by consulting and taking the advice of disinterested members of the bar, schooled in appellate practice." (Estate of Gilkinson (1998) 65 Cal.App.4th 1443, 1449-1450.)
New eyes are one reason to retain an appellate specialist, but equally important is the well-honed skill of an appellate lawyer: Writing briefs that resonate with judges. Appeals are largely decided on the briefs, and they are decided by experienced judges — not by a jury.
Appeals involve questions of law, not questions of fact. Brief writing for appellate jurists is both an art form and a skill. A trial attorney who handles an appeal may be tempted to repackage the briefing at the trial court.
