Kentucky Civil, Criminal and Administrative Appeals Attorneys

Appellate assistance

Not every case ends once a judgment is entered. Yet, many attorneys do not enjoy the appellate process while others prudently recognize the importance of collaborating with professionals who are more experienced or better able to preserve a favorable judgment and overturn an unfavorable judgment. Sometimes it takes an attorney who was not involved in the case to dispassionately review the trial or summary proceeding to identify the potential issues for appeal.
