Whether your goal is to reverse an adverse judgment or to protect a favorable one from reversal, Goldberg Segalla LLP’s Appellate Advocacy Practice Group recognizes and implements the unique skills of appellate advocacy to meet those goals.  The group has successfully resolved appeals in matters that have been with the firm from its inception, as well as those that have been referred to the group at the appellate stage.  Our comprehensive appellate practice is fully integrated with our litigation and insurance coverage practices, thereby protecting the rights of our clients in the first instance.  The Appellate Advocacy Practice Group not only excels at the brief writing and oral advocacy skills necessary to meet your goals, it also is intimately familiar with the unique motion practice that frequently intertwines itself with appeals.

In recognition of the unique demands of appellate advocacy, our firm has assembled a group of attorneys with vast appellate experience.  Some of the group's attorneys have clerked at New York State's highest court and the State's Appellate Division, and all have experience in a wide range of practice areas.  Our group boasts an expertise in the unique procedural requirements of the New York Court of Appeals, and has used this expertise to bring important issues to this State's highest court and successfully argue our clients' position.  Our expertise also encompasses appeals in federal courts and appellate courts of other states, where our group's attorneys have successfully argued and defended appeals in various United States Circuit Court of Appeals and state appellate courts.

This firm's Appellate Advocacy Practice Group can also help with the client's vision of the larger legal landscape beyond isolated appeals.  With the group's diligent and constant work to keep current on trends in civil defense and nascent issues impacting our clients, our attorneys are able to understand our clients' visions in staying or changing the legal landscape beyond the isolated appeal.  The group's collective knowledge and experience provides our clients with the ability to successfully monitor statewide and nationwide trends, using appeals to help attain our clients' vision.
