Answers to Your Biggest Questions About Appeals

An appeal is your opportunity to challenge a court’s decision by asking a higher court to review it for errors. It’s not a retrial but a focused legal argument on how the law was misapplied or the process was unfair. At our Utah Appellate Law Firm, we specialize in identifying and presenting those critical errors to give your case the best chance for success.

The appellate process begins with filing a notice of appeal and submitting written briefs explaining why the lower court’s decision should be reversed or upheld. Oral arguments may follow, but the focus remains on legal issues, not new evidence. Our team ensures every brief is persuasive, thorough, and designed to resonate with appellate judges.

Refer to our guide on the appellate process.

Not every case is eligible for appeal, and success depends on finding significant legal or procedural errors. Our attorneys will evaluate your case with precision and honesty, helping you understand whether an appeal is your best option or if other remedies are available.

Appeals require a unique skill set—clear legal writing, deep knowledge of appellate rules, and the ability to focus on the big picture. At Lotus Appellate Law, we are a boutique law firm with years of appellate experience, offering the expertise you need to navigate this specialized process with confidence.

The timeline for an appeal varies depending on the complexity of the case and the court’s schedule. In general, appeals can take up to two years or more to resolve. At Lotus Appellate Law, we keep you informed every step of the way, ensuring deadlines are met and your case moves forward as efficiently as possible.

If you’re considering an appeal, time is critical. The clock starts ticking the moment your case ends. Contact the attorneys at Lotus Appellate Law today for a consultation, and let us help you decide the best way forward. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.
