Appellate

Law is not a cut and dry business. Cases do not always return the favorable outcome we hoped and planned for when preparing to go to trial. Sometimes judges and juries simply do not deliver the expected verdict. As society’s laws have become increasingly complex—sometimes blurring the distinction between what the law requires and what it allows—you need a lawyer who can handle appellate matters with the confidence and composure needed to overturn a previous court decision. Conveniently located in Mobile, Alabama, Luther, Oldenburg & Rainey, P.C. has lawyers who are members of the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States of America and have represented appellants and appellees before:

• The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals
• The Alabama Supreme Court
• The Alabama Court of Civil Appeals

The essence of Appeal

Filing for an appeal escalates your case to a higher court for further examination by a judge; there are no witnesses or juries. In Alabama, an appeal is brought before an appellate court where the actions and decisions of a trial are inspected. Questions on laws or alleged procedural error are thoroughly analyzed as the appellate judges review the same evidence and exhibits presented during the trial. Unfavorable court rulings can be overturned with the help of skilled legal counsel.
