Civil Appeals

Civil Appeals

When a trial court’s decision feels unjust, it may be due to an error of law, factual mistakes, or an abuse of discretion. Civil appeals provide a structured way to seek a review of such decisions.

Unlike trials, appeals focus on the application and interpretation of the law rather than re-examining the facts of the case. If you believe your trial court proceedings were affected by errors, an appeal can offer an opportunity to rectify these issues.
