In most Washington cases, you must file a Notice of Appeal within 30 days of the trial court’s final ruling. Missing this deadline usually forfeits your right to appeal.

No. Appeals focus solely on the trial record — what was said, filed, and decided in the lower court.

Every case is unique. While no attorney can guarantee results, our team evaluates the legal issues and procedural history to provide an honest, informed assessment.

Appellate practice requires a different skill set — strategic writing, procedural precision, and deep knowledge of standards of review. Our attorneys focus exclusively on these nuances.
