Our appellate attorneys handle complex appeals in state and federal courts. We have represented clients in all levels of appeals in Connecticut, as well as before the Massachusetts Court of Appeals, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We have handled appeals involving commercial, probate, real property, administrative, criminal, environmental, intellectual property and constitutional issues.

Our advocacy is grounded in a focused and careful approach. We relish researching difficult and complex issues when necessary, and strive to provide the highest level of written and oral advocacy in an efficient manner. All of our appellate advocates also have trial experience. This gives our appellate attorneys insights that have contributed to our success.

We draw on the expertise of our colleagues who practice in other areas of the law when developing our appellate briefs and arguments. Our appellate attorneys are also well versed in substantive areas of the law other than appellate work, which allows us to approach our appeals in an thoroughly educated manner.
