An attorney in the D.C. area would be able to advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. At this point, you could check with the D.C. Bar if their resources for the public might be helpful in terms of attorney recommendations or referrals. Good luck

Is this a criminal defense matter? If you prove that the lower court lacked jurisdiction, the court should issue an order to overturn the decision of the lower court, and you should ask for that in your appeal.

You may lack standing to bring this sort of appeal. It depends on the facts of this seemingly multi-plaintiff case; but if they're 2 separate cases, then typically not. More facts are needed here.

You are generally permitted to litigate actions and file appeals on your own, without a lawyer representing you; but having a lawyer is advisable if you can afford one. An exception is that if you're in a corporate action where you're trying to represent an incorporated entity (e.g., your... View More
