Through our attorneys’ top-notch legal writing and persuasive oral advocacy — skills 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.
About Our Appellate Practice Attorneys

This approach gives clients clear cost expectations and control over their legal expenses. Whether we are appealing decisions in our cases or stepping in as appellate counsel, our clients can rest assured that Yankwitt LLP’s appellate team will deliver best-in-class representation.
