Q: I am writing a brief because a judge made a ruiling that the insurance proceeds from a fire are not exempt.
The insureance proceeds are to replace exempt property there fore should be treated as such. I need help with my brief for the court of aappeals
A: I handle civil appeals in both state and federal court. Presumably, competent trial counsel representing you adequately preserved your complaint for review by the appellate court. Our firm typically requires a minimum retainer of $25,000 for a civil appeal, although this amount could be higher if your record of the trial court proceedings is larger than normal or if the issues presented are more complex than usual. From your question, it does not sound like your case is overly complex so it is unlikely the record is unusually large.
