Appeals Attorneys

Overview

An appeal, at the state level, is to be utilized by a party to a trial to have a higher court, such as the appellate court, review a decision made by a trial court to amend the outcome of the original decision, but only in situations where errors of law are present. If no relief is found within the state level appellate courts, the final remedy would be petitioning to appeal the case with the California Supreme Court.

The appeals attorneys at Flores Ryan, LLP have expertise in every aspect of appeals claims, procedures, and strategies. We provide the legal expertise to ensure that appeals are properly prepared and filed.  Our extensive experience as appeals attorneys allows us to advance appeals strategically to maximize the likelihood of a rapid and substantial recovery.

KEY POINTS

  • Appealing a decision in litigation is often the introduction to an appeal, which could result in an additional 2 or more years to process. Appealing a decision in arbitration is very limited.
  • The parties may not appeal a trial courts order vacating an arbitration award that only interprets a clause in a contract if the award is not a final judgment of the rights of the parties in the action.
  • The trial court must give the factual and legal basis for its decision, if requested to do so by a party, whenever it makes an appealable order or judgment.
  • An order to compel arbitration, although reviewable on an appeal of judgment confirming an award, is not appealable under California Code of Civil Procedure §1294, therefore court is no longer required to make a statement of decision before ordering arbitration.
  • An appeal from the trial court's order or judgment is handled in the same manner as an appeal from an order or judgment in a civil action.
