The time to start thinking about your appeal is before
you file the complaint. Your first pleading in a case
starts to define the limits of appellate review. Mr.
Caso is available to consult with you on how to set the
frame of your case so that you are in the best position
when you are faced with an appeal. He can also assist
you with your significant motions – preliminary
injunction, summary judgment, and motions for issuance
of a writ. Throughout the process, you keep the client
relationship and Mr. Caso works directly with you as
either a consultant or co-counsel on the litigation.
Once judgment is
entered, Mr. Caso can help you prepare for the appeal.
Critical decisions need to be made at the very beginning
of the appellate process – do you have sufficient
grounds for an appeal? What issues should you select for
the appeal and how can you tie them together into a
coherent theme? What needs to be in your record on
appeal?
Again, whether Mr.
Caso is a consultant on the team to help you select
issues and to review initial drafts of your briefs or
whether he joins the team as co-counsel to take the lead
on the appeal – you keep the client relationship.
