The Firm places focus, at all levels and in all areas, on the qualities of legal analysis, legal writing that communicates, recognition of what is significant in a mass of materials, careful attention to detail, and the ability to counter arguments quickly. These skills allow us to serve our clients effectively and well in appellate courtrooms throughout the New York state and federal system. Our up-to-date awareness of current law and trends, together with our ability to digest the important facts and issues in any particular case, allow us to work with our clients to arrive at a well-grounded conclusion as to whether an appeal should be pursued, or the most effective means of responding to an appeal made by an opposing party. We then proceed aggressively, diligently, and effectively in the appellate arena to prosecute or defend our client's best interests. We are equally at ease pursuing appeals in cases that we have handled at the trial court level, or matters referred to us for the first time on appeal.
