Oftentimes, our justice system provides litigants the right to appeal from decisions of lower courts and administrative agencies. Appellate advocacy is a unique form of legal representation that calls for skills separate and apart from other forms of advocacy.
At Everett Gaskins Hancock, we understand that effective appellate advocacy requires not only a thorough knowledge of the procedural rules and techniques for writing convincing briefs, but also the art of storytelling, both in the written brief and in oral argument. EGH’s appellate lawyers have been telling their clients’ stories for more than 40 years, in matters involving EGH at the hearing and trial level, as well as matters referred to EGH for appeal after hearing or trial by others. We approach each appeal with equal craft and vigor, while maintaining an unwavering respect for the court.
