Johnson Pope’s Appellate Group represents clients in appeals at the state and federal levels. When a client engages us to handle an appeal, our first step is to provide a candid evaluation of our client’s chances of success. We review the trial record, identify potential appellate issues and relevant precedent, and give our clients the information they need to make informed decisions. Our goal is to provide our clients with the information they need to make informed decisions to protect their victories or challenge a trial court’s decision.
The ability to indentify winning appellate issues and oral advocacy skills to argue them are essential requirements for any successful appellate attorney. The heart of a successful appeal is a creative, well written brief and a forceful, clear argument, which both demand exceptional legal research and experience to secure favorable appellate decisions for our clients. Our team takes immense pride in our written and oral skills that it developed over decades of experience in front of peers, juries, and judges. We understand what judges care about when deciding a case. We draft our briefs to meet strict court-imposed requirements and deadlines , and we prepare compelling oral arguments that command attention.

- Managing the entire appeal process, from initiation to conclusion
- Interlocutory appeals
- Drafting amicus briefs
