APPEALS & WRITS

Our clients' need for expertise and experience does not end at the conclusion of trial. The firm is committed to the representation of clients, not only during trial, but also through the appellate process. Proven researchers and highly skilled writers, our appellate counsel not only assert persuasive arguments of established law, but they also advance novel theories to effectuate change in the industry. In this regard, we are never afraid to challenge the lower courts for the misapplication of the law, and we are willing to assert ideas that are "outside the box" for the protection of our clients' interests. We have enjoyed many favorable writs and successful appeals in both the State and Federal courts.

Clinton & Clinton's appellate practice is predicated upon the theory that strong litigators make strong advocates. Although all of our attorneys remain updated on the law, our appellate attorneys are also our law and motion attorneys for litigated cases, which ensures that the nuances of the law and recent opinions are addressed. Additionally, our appeals lawyers review cases with our litigators to provide insight during the drafting of discovery to ensure that the necessary facts, which will be used in support of various motions, are elicited during the discovery stage of litigation. Finally, the appellate team assists our trial counsel in making certain that the proper record is developed during trial so as to preserve the right to appeal the decision at the conclusion of trial.

Our appellate attorneys participate in appellate court communities throughout the State of California's six appellate districts and their divisions, as well as the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Los Angeles, San Diego, Pasadena and San Francisco. As a result, our attorneys are intimately familiar with local appellate practices and customs to give our clients the edge.
