Appellate

We represent individuals, small businesses, insurance carriers, and Fortune 500 companies in complex, high-stakes appeals before state and federal courts. Regardless of the client’s size or the scope of the matter, every appeal receives the same close attention, rigorous analysis, and strategic focus.

We approach every appeal with the same strategic discipline we bring to trial. In many matters, we guide the case from pre-litigation strategy through trial and appeal, preserving critical issues and positioning the case for success at every stage. We are also frequently retained after trial to take over an appeal, bringing a fresh perspective to the record, identifying the strongest appellate issues, and developing persuasive arguments for review.

Our attorneys are seasoned appellate advocates, exceptional brief writers, and experienced trial lawyers. This combination allows us to understand how a case was developed, recognize where the record creates opportunity, and present complex legal and factual issues with clarity and force.

Our firm has handled hundreds of appeals and helped shape the law in Colorado and throughout the American West through published decisions, including matters certified by the United States District Court for the District of Colorado to the Colorado Supreme Court. We are admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, and the appellate and supreme courts of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming.

Whether engaged before trial, after judgment, or at a critical stage of appellate review, we provide focused, innovative advocacy designed to protect our clients’ interests and achieve the strongest possible result.
