Appeals Attorneys

Resolute Representation During The Appeals Process

The verdict of the court is not always where a case ends. When a case appears before the court of appeals, a positive outcome often depends on having the right legal representation to assess the complex details of the case and aggressively fight for your needs and rights.

At Seiden Law, our innovative team of top-ranked litigators, skilled investigators and knowledgeable financial professionals navigate the intricate details of each case to create bold legal solutions. Whether working to overturn unjust decisions or upholding key wins, we are dedicated to achieving results for our clients.

The appeals process is lengthy and complex–requiring high level expertise and understanding of the state and federal courts. From filing well-researched briefs to delivering persuasive oral arguments, we work tirelessly to deliver the outcomes our clients rightfully deserve. Applying a multidisciplinary approach to research, our team’s successful experiences across several courts makes us exceptionally adept at handling complex cases.

In our work for our hundreds of clients, we have earned a reputation for our relentless pursuit of justice and our global reach. The team at Seiden Law has had success in appeals before both the state appellate courts and federal circuit courts in the United States. This includes post-trial and interlocutory matters. Furthermore, we have also represented our clients’ interests in appellate proceedings abroad.

Our Representative Case Work Includes:

• Seiden Law won an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on behalf of a pro bono client in an ownership dispute over a drawing done by world-renowned artist Jeane Michel Basquiat.  Our team persuaded the Second Circuit to revive our client’s case by reversing the lower court’s dismissals of her claims for conversion and for declaratory judgment.
