Appellate Courts

We are well-versed in appellate practice. Whether or not we have handled the case in the trial court, we can take on your appeal. We are familiar with all appellate practice procedures and know how to craft an effective brief. We handle matters before single justices as well as full panels of appellate courts. And, have been fortunate to have been involved in the rare instance where a single justice has reported an interlocutory appeal to a full appellate bench. Brown Counsel argues cases of first impression before the Supreme Judicial Court and argued a case in the First Circuit where former Supreme Court Justice Souter was on the panel. From this experience, we know how important it is to simplify and distill issues so that they can be explained quickly and concisely. And, we understand that your lawyer needs to know the record cold in order to always answer the judge's specific question.

OTHER FORUMS:

Persuasion and advocacy is necessary in other forums as well. Whether you are before a local zoning board, a state or federal administrative agency, or an industry-related organization like FINRA, we can help. The key for working within these venues is to be well-prepared on the facts, to be able to educate on the law, and to be respectful of their particular procedures.
