Appellate advocacy at Michelman Robinson isn’t reactive—it’s a strategic function embedded into our litigation approach from day one. Our lawyers handle complex, highstakes appeals in state and federal courts across the country, with a track record of published wins that have helped shape the legal landscape. But our value often begins well before a notice of appeal is filed.
We advise trial teams on issue preservation, record development, and key motion strategy, ensuring that cases are positioned for success at both the trial and appellate levels. Our appellate group is also called in to consult on unsettled questions of law, interlocutory rulings, and extraordinary writ proceedings, often in fast-moving, highpressure environments where precision and foresight are critical.
Known for our rigorous analysis and focused advocacy, we brief and argue appeals involving a wide range of legal and industry issues, from complex commercial disputes and employment claims to entertainment, insurance, and regulatory matters. We work seamlessly with colleagues across practices to deliver substantive depth and strategic cohesion.
Whether correcting legal error, defending hard-won victories, or pursuing gamechanging rulings, we approach appellate matters with a rare combination of tactical creativity, litigation acumen, and subject matter fluency.
