The attorneys at Yankwitt LLP are skilled appellate practice lawyers experienced in both state and federal appellate courts. With their sophisticated understanding of the law and creative approach to legal problems, our appellate practice attorneys are able to analyze a trial court record, identify any and all grounds to appeal an adverse decision or affirm a favorable one and formulate the most effective plan of attack. Through our attorneys’ top-notch legal writing and persuasive oral advocacy, skills they honed as law clerks to federal circuit and district court judges and as former federal prosecutors, Yankwitt LLP’s appellate team has taken on our clients’ toughest, high-stakes appeals — and prevailed.
