Civil Appeals
Obtaining a large jury verdict; suffering a loss at trial. Either way, it is often just a step along the path to the final determination of a legal matter, rather than the end of the road.
At Clark, Perdue & List, we have the ability and experience to handle each step of the appeals process. Because appellate courts often decide cases upon the briefs, we bring together a team of lawyers to draft the most persuasive appellate briefs. And, our lawyers have extensive experience in presenting effective oral arguments.
As a result of our experience, we are often asked to become involved in cases after trial. In many cases, we can provide a fresh approach necessary to obtain a favorable result in the court of appeals.
Our experience includes appeals in complex cases involving personal injury, defective products, insurance disputes, and the Consumer Sales Practices Act.
