Practice Areas : Appeals & Appellate
7 appellate attorneys are listed in Fresno. 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 Fresno also cover Criminal Law (39), Personal Injury (30) and DUI & DWI (23). The same practice elsewhere in California: San Diego (11), San Francisco (10) and Sacramento (8). Across California the directory lists 48 attorneys in this practice; Fresno is 4th by their number among 6 cities.
