11 appellate attorneys are listed in Buffalo. They challenge and defend decisions already made — writing briefs, arguing legal error and standards of review, and handling post-conviction petitions.
An appeal is not a second trial. No new evidence is taken, and the court asks whether the law was applied correctly rather than how it would have decided the facts.
The deadline to file a notice of appeal is short and jurisdictional. Call before it runs. Ask each attorney how much of their practice is appellate work, since it is a distinct skill from trial advocacy.
Lawyers listed in Buffalo also cover Personal Injury (59), Business Law (26) and Criminal Law (25). The same practice elsewhere in New York: White Plains (8), Rochester (8) and Albany (8). Across New York the directory lists 35 attorneys in this practice; Buffalo is 1st by their number among 4 cities.
