Appellate Practice
We are often hired to appeal cases tried by other counsel. Sometimes a fresh view of the case provides new insight on the issues or facts. Our attorneys at Sherrets Bruno & Vogt, LLC, are skilled in legal analysis, persuasive writing, and oral advocacy, the skills necessary to present a strong appeal.
Many attorneys do few appeals. Appellate courts have very specific rules and requirements that must be complied with. Our attorneys at Sherrets Bruno & Vogt handle a constant stream of appeals so they are knowledgeable about current appellate rules and practices. Attorneys from Sherrets Bruno & Vogt regularly argue before the Nebraska Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. We have also appeared before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit and the Iowa Supreme Court, and we have submitted writs to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Make An Informed Decision
Appeals can be expensive and time-consuming, and they are never a sure thing. Our appellate attorneys can provide a straightforward, candid assessment of your options and prospects for your case and, should you decide to appeal, have the skill and expertise to give you the best chance to achieve your goal.
IMPORTANT: There is a very short period in which an appeal can be made. If an appeal is not made within that time, you lose your right to appeal. If you are considering an appeal and would like to talk to Sherrets Bruno & Vogt, LLC, you must act quickly after receiving a final order.
