Attorneys in our Appellate Practice Group Represent Individuals and Businesses at all Levels on Appeal
Appellate litigation is an important aspect of our practice at Downey & Cleveland. Along with substantial trial litigation experience, we have significant appellate litigation experience as well, and our attorneys represent individuals, companies, governmental entities, and other clients in appeals at all levels throughout Georgia, including the Georgia Court of Appeals Supreme Court of Georgia, and the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
Experienced Appellate Attorneys Serving Individual and Corporate Clients in Georgia
Appellate litigation and trial litigation are very different. While trial litigation largely focuses on the facts of the underlying claim or dispute, appellate litigation primarily focuses on what happened at trial. As a result, appellate litigation and trial litigation require very different skill sets, and great trial lawyers won’t necessarily be able to translate their success into the nuances of appellate practice.
With our focus on trial and appellate litigation, we have been able to amass a substantial record of success in trial and appellate courts throughout Georgia. Several of our firm’s cases now serve as a precedent that protects companies and individuals in liability-related matters. We represent both new and existing clients in appellate litigation and firms that do not handle appeals often refer their clients’ appellate matters to our firm.
