Appeals Lawyers


If you have not received the outcome you wanted in a civil case, you may have the right to file an appeal. Because of incredibly complex rules and procedures, few attorneys handle appeals. Courts routinely dismiss appeals because of a missed deadline or the failure to comply with a formatting or other procedural rule. Due to the various requirements and sometimes complicated process      of filing an appeal, it is important that you consult with a Virginia appeals lawyer as soon as possible if you want to appeal your case.
