Appellate Practice

Litigation does not always end with a trial; appeals frequently follow. Brault Graham is well known for its outstanding appellate practice.   Lawyers in the firm have argued more than 200 appellate cases in the Maryland and District of Columbia appellate courts, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

The appellate cases Brault Graham has argued have produced significant developments in tort, commercial and insurance law.  Click on Appellate Decisions for a sampling of the appeals briefed and argued by our attorneys.

The firm’s extensive trial practice enhances our ability to pursue and defend appellate litigation. Our civil litigators understand what it takes to preserve issues for appeal, and we know how to review a record for appealable error.

More than experience in trial law, however, the firm’s appellate experience is key to successful appellate representation. To convince a higher court to consider an appeal requires thorough preparation of a well-researched and well-reasoned brief which puts forth a compelling argument why an appeal should be heard. Our attorneys are sophisticated at determining reversible versus harmless error across the grounds for appeal.
