Civil Appeals Attorney in California

Any civil case can be appealed as long as there was a mistake made in the lower court that impacted the outcome of a case. However, there are some types of appeals heard by the appellate courts that are more common than others. These include:

• Wrongful death claims
• Medical malpractice claims
• Landlord/tenant claims
• Unsafe premises claims
• Defective product claims
• Foreclosure cases

Regardless of the type of civil case you lost, contact our California civil appeals lawyers at Burris, Nisenbaum, Curry & Lacy to determine if you have valid grounds for an appeal.

While you may have the right to file a civil appeal, you only have a certain amount of time to do so. You only have 180 days from the date of the judgment or decision made in the lower courts to file a Notice of Appeal, which essentially notifies the lower court that you intend to appeal the decision. If you do not file within this time, you will likely forfeit your right to file an appeal, even if your case has merit.

If you have lost a civil case due to an error in the law, you may have the right to appeal. Do not go through the process alone. At Burris, Nisenbaum, Curry & Lacy, our California civil appeals lawyers will make sure your case is filed on time and prepare comprehensive briefs that prove a mistake was made.
