How an appeal begins

If you are contemplating an appeal it is not practical to discuss the matte voer the phone. You are surely looking for an appellate lawyer that has the neccesary skills to handle the case. one of the most important steps in filing an appeal.

Appellate filings have very strict deadlines and adhearing to those steps is the first rule in successfully filing an appeal.

Once Mrs. Buchlater has discussed the posibility of appealing your case, it is critical to have all relevant documents available. For Colorado trial attorneys, seeking to appeal their case, quick and early discussion is key.

Will the attorney be able to tell me what my chances are of winning after they review my case?

As the discussion of filing an appeals ends, the next question is usually "what are my chances of winning?". This is a tough question. Skilled and ehtical attorneys should be candid with the client and explain that predictions are against our rules of ethics and not even the most successful appellate law attorney in Colorado can predict an outcome.

 

Colorado Supreme Court Appeals.   Appeals in Colorado require quick decision-making and action. It takes a unique skill to effectively practice in this area of law. You should inquire into your prospective appeals attorney knowlege on the substantive law involved in the case.

Appellate attorneys in Colorado should be hired early -even before trial. Most would disagree with this statement. However, in a high-stakes case appellate counsel should be hired even before the case goes to trial. Why? Because the appeals lawyer can prepare trial briefs, preserve error and even draft the proposed jury questions.

  • A good Colorado appeals attorney has to be able to persuade appellate court judges, not a jury. This is done early in the appellate process through written arguments and appellate briefs.   
  • The cost of your appeal must be weighed against the odds of prevailing. What are the odds of prevailing? The answer lies in the skills of a Colorado Supreme Court or appeals court lawyer. He must be able to isolate the legal issues and know the case law to back it up.
