Appellate Counsel Can Have Key Role at Trial

Appellate lawyers are often aware of legal issues currently percolating in the appellate courts, subjects on which there is a dispute among the appellate courts, or relevant cases pending in the state or U.S. Supreme Court. This knowledge can be useful in identifying potential legal issues and creating a record for presenting them on appeal. For these among other reasons, write Horvitz & Levy attorneys Karen M. Bray and David M. Axelrad, it may be cost effective in some cases to retain appellate counsel as part of the trial team.
