About Appeals

Appeals provide a critical mechanism for correcting errors and ensuring that justice is served. If a trial court’s decision was affected by procedural mistakes, misapplication of the law, or an abuse of discretion, an appeal offers an opportunity to seek redress.

However, not every unfavorable decision is grounds for an appeal. Understanding the nuances of appellate law is essential for determining whether pursuing an appeal is the right course of action.
