Appellate
As one of the fastest growing law firms in Chicago, SmithAmundsen understands the goals, the thinking, and the motivation that drive business decisions inside and outside the courtroom. The experience of our attorneys enables us to bring the highest level of legal skills to the defense of matters prior to suit, and throughout each phase of litigation, trial, and appeal.
Appeals can be won—and lost—before a case ever gets to the reviewing court. Many clients appreciate that an appeal is not merely another stage of litigation and that practice before reviewing courts demands abilities that differ from trial. To meet our clients’ needs, we have, as one of our areas of practice, a group dedicated to handling appeals in state and federal courts. The members of this group have clerked for members of the Illinois Appellate Court and regularly appear before reviewing courts in Illinois and Wisconsin.
