How we split the work
Who does what on an appeal here
One lawyer on point
Your appeal has one lawyer who answers your calls and signs the brief.
A cold second read
Another lawyer here reads every draft cold, as a judge would.
A deadline calendar
Every date is entered twice, by two people, the day we take the case.
Reach the lawyer who fits
Write with the date of the judgment and the court. The lawyer who fits the case will reply.
