appellate practice

We offer a wide variety of services in addition to the traditional appeal, including preparation of post trial motions, preparation of writ petitions, and transfer petitions. Our attorneys are available to consult with trial counsel before, during and after the trial, as decisions made at the trial level can impact the appellate process significantly.

Our appellate attorneys have significant experience, including landmark decisions such as Neske v. City of St. Louis, 218 S.W.3d 417 (Mo. banc 2007), Morton v. Brenner, 842 S.W.2d 538 (Mo. banc 1992) and Missouri Merchants and Manufacturers Assn v. Missouri, 42 S.W.3d 628 (Mo. banc 2001). Other notable decisions obtained by the firm are listed below.
