Experienced Appellate Lawyers
Some civil trial lawyers pride themselves on their ability to "protect" a verdict by measures they take place before or during trial. In a discipline as unforgiving as the law, pride is rarely if ever a virtue. Cates, Hanson, Sargeant & Schoenau, PLC will carefully examine every aspect of your case looking for legal or procedural errors that could serve as the basis for a successful appeal. If a basis exists for a successful appeal effort, we will find it.
Our appellate attorneys are prepared to handle any civil appeal matter, including verdicts involving contract disputes, personal injury litigation and business torts.
