At LLM Family Law, our team provides highly skilled legal representation and guidance in complex family law matters. We understand that navigating the legal system can be overwhelming, and we are dedicated to helping you achieve the best possible outcome.
Judges don’t always get it right. When they make mistakes, there may be legal avenues to correct them. Depending on the circumstances, this may involve filing a motion to reconsider, a motion for new trial, or a motion to set aside the judgment. If these remedies are unsuccessful or are unavailable, the next step may be seeking review in the Court of Appeal through an appeal or a writ.
Our team is highly skilled in handling family law appeals and writs and will guide you through every step of the process. If you need a trusted appellate attorney, don’t hesitate to contact us.
An appeal is a request for a higher court–usually the Court of Appeal–to review and potentially overturn a trial court’s decision. The appellate court will determine whether the trial judge made a reversible mistake that affected the outcome of your case.
Not every decision is appealable, and strict deadlines apply. Once the filing period expires, you lose your right to appeal. That’s why it’s critical to consult with an appellate lawyer who specializes in family law as soon as possible.
In some cases, it may even be beneficial to involve an appellate lawyer before or during the trial or hearing to ensure that a proper record is made, and key procedural steps are taken. This can strengthen your chance of success if an appeal becomes necessary.
If you need an experienced family law appellate attorney, contact us today.
A writ is a formal order from a higher court–typically the Court of Appeal–directing a trial court to take or refrain from taking a specific action. Unlike appeals, writs allow the appellate court to quickly intervene when an appeal is not available or would be inadequate–such as in cases where irreparable harm could occur without immediate judicial review.
Writ proceedings begin when a party files a writ petition with the appellate court. However, appellate courts are not required to hear writ petitions, and many are denied without a hearing. That’s why it’s crucial to have an attorney who can craft a persuasive petition demonstrating why the appellate court should intervene.
If you need a family law attorney with experience in writs, reach out to our team today.
