Errors in family courts can leave families and children in turmoil. Filing an appeal may be the only way to protect your interests and have justice for your children. The preparation of an appeal requires specific knowledge of procedural requirements of appellate courts and the ability to successfully navigate those systems on behalf of the client.
Perfecting the appeal requires the ability to construct an appellate brief that engenders clear, cogent, and compelling legal arguments. Oral argument of the appeal is a fusion of rhetorical and persuasive arguments based upon an in-depth knowledge of the record and the applicable law.
Whether new evidence has come to light, or errors made in the original trial or Judgment led to an unfair result, DeSantis Family Law can identify the potential grounds for appeal and help clients and attorneys through the appellate process.
