Cleveland Appeals Lawyers
Appellate Lawyers for Municipal, State and Federal Courts
Being sentenced to a term of incarceration, or receiving any punitive decision by a court or jury can cause life changing consequences to individuals and their families, as well as compromise one’s career and standing in the community. Understanding these consequences, Friedman & Nemecek, L.L.C. Attorneys at Law have handled appeals at municipal, state, and federal levels throughout Ohio and courts across the United States.
Working as a team, our lawyers will review your ability to appeal the court or jury decision, drawing on their relevant strengths and areas of focus to pinpoint all potential opportunities for appellate review.
Once the case is studied and the briefs filed, our lawyers present the oral arguments before the different appellate court judges or justices. Many times, mock arguments will be performed so that we will be as prepared as possible before proceeding to the argument.
