It’s crucial to understand what a civil appeal entails: it is not a second chance to retry your case or present new evidence. Instead, it's a critical, specialized review of the original trial court record to determine if significant legal errors were made that impacted the final judgment. Our firm provides dedicated appellate services to:
Meticulously Analyze the Record: We conduct an exhaustive examination of every detail of your trial transcript, admitted evidence, and court filings to pinpoint potential legal errors that affected the outcome. This includes issues such as:
Incorrect application or interpretation of Texas law by the trial judge.
Improperly admitted or excluded evidence.
Errors in jury instructions.
Sufficiency of the evidence to support the judgment.
Procedural missteps that prejudiced your case.
Conduct In-Depth Legal Research: Thoroughly research all relevant Texas statutes, precedents, and case law pertinent to the identified errors, building a robust legal foundation for your appeal.
Craft Compelling Appellate Briefs: Prepare persuasive, well-reasoned appellate briefs that clearly articulate the legal errors and why they warrant relief from the higher court. Our goal is to present your case with clarity, precision, and a deep understanding of appellate jurisprudence.
Present Skillful Oral Argument: If the appellate court grants oral argument, Jason Larman will present powerful and articulate arguments directly to the panel of justices, advocating zealously for your rights and explaining why the court should rule in your favor.
