Appealing Strategies
No appeal is ever routine. And there is never a time when results matter more than on final appeal. Whether as an appellant, appellee or friend of the court, a decision on appeal not only settles the case but becomes the law of the land.
Burr & Forman LLP is home to one of the most experienced appellate practices in the southeast region. Its lawyers are highly skilled in arguing the right issue, in the right way, with a deep understanding of how our appellate courts operate. The firm’s lawyers have handled literally hundreds of appeals at all levels of the state and federal system. Those cases have involved nearly every legal subject as well as challenges to excessive damage awards.
A complete list of Burr & Forman’s appellate cases is available upon request.
A key indicator of excellence is the number of clients who pick Burr & Forman for an appeal after suffering an adverse trial result, or who contact Burr to seek an emergency appeal. Another indicator is the many amicus curiae organizations who select Burr to file their briefs, such as the Business Council of Alabama, the Defense Research Institute, the American Council of Life Insurers, the Product Liability Advisory Council, the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies, and the Alabama Defense Lawyers Association.
Burr’s appellate lawyers hold key leadership roles such as the Alabama Supreme Court’s standing committee on appellate rules. They are frequent writers and speakers on appellate practice, and they have been named by their peers in the appellate category of “Best Lawyers in America.â€
