Appellate

Guiding You Through Every Stage of the Appeals Process

When you're appealing a court decision, your law firm needs to know the appeals processes at every level. Our attorneys have appeared in cases before the US Supreme Court, US Circuit Courts of Appeal, and numerous state appellate courts. We leverage our broad, substantive appeals experience to guide clients through the process. That's why a pharmaceutical company entrusted Mintz with its appeal — and recovered $7 million in compensation from a disloyal former CEO.
