Appeals

Set the record straight

     Appellate advocacy requires very different skills from litigation and trials.  Appellate judges need legal insights and fresh perspectives, to help them rule correctly on the law.

     Good appellate lawyers know how to relate to the courts -- and more importantly, how not to do it.  Good appellate lawyers build a reputation for professionalism and trustworthiness, so judges know they can rely on counsel's arguments.

     Nathan Burney understands what works -- and what does not work -- on appeal.  Whether your case is before the First Department in Manhattan, the federal Second Circuit or the Supreme Court of the United States, he is ready to represent you.

Services include:

• U.S. Supreme Court

• Second Circuit Court of Appeals

• New York Court of Appeals

• NY Appellate Division, First Department

• Thorough legal research and analysis

• Clear and compelling briefs

• Creative and professional oral argument
