Q: I need help on writing my appeallette breif
I'm the appeallette and and have written brief or argument. With my evidence and cited each law that applies from trial by era
A:
Writing an appellate brief requires the knowledge, experience, and skill of an attorney who practices in the area of appellate law. If you lack that knowledge, experience, and skill, you should definitely hire an attorney who has them.
Depending on the size of the appellate record and complexity of the issues involved, you should be able to find an appellate lawyer willing to begin work on your case for a retainer of $25,000-50,000.
Most cases are affirmed on appeal, meaning the trial judge’s decision is not changed in any way. Because there are many rules and requirements, appellate courts often dispose of appeals without necessarily addressing the merits of the evidence. Even most trial lawyers refer appeals out to attorneys with more knowledge and experience concerning appellate law.
This is not a DIY task for most litigants
A: Depending on the nature of the subject matter, one option is to look into pro bono or legal aid. But in general, it could be difficult to find economical help because appeals tend to be costly and complex investments of a law firm's time. Check with local and state bar associations if they could direct you toward any resources. Good luck
