Appellate law is a specialty which embraces a wide range of issues.  It requires the mastery of complex procedural and legal issues, as well as an ability to craft compelling and persuasive written and oral arguments to best challenge or defend the trial court’s decision.

In our appellate practice, we have a demonstrated record of effectively advocating for our clients and achieving favorable outcomes, before both the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and the Massachusetts Appeals Court. We have been directly involved in arguing some of the most consequential appellate, family law decisions in the past few decades. We have also participated in continuing legal education panels involving appellate practice and recent developments in the law.

Many of our appellate cases are referred by attorneys outside our firm, who handled the cases at trial, as it can be beneficial to have separate appellate counsel to provide a fresh perspective of the case and the issues.   For more information, please contact Sandy Durland.
