Baltimore Appeals Attorneys

When Do I Need an Appellate Attorney?

Trial courts make mistakes. You need experienced appellate attorneys to identify those mistakes and properly brief them and argue to the appellate court. You may also have to defend against an appeal taken by the other side in your case.

Where do I make my appeal?

Appeals of civil and criminal cases are heard in different courts, depending on where your trial was held. For example, appeals from the Maryland District Court are heard by the circuit court for the County in which the case was heard.  Appeals from the various circuit courts are heard in Annapolis, by the Maryland Court of Special Appeals and the Court of Appeals.

Appeals of administrative matters can end up in the circuit courts, in the Maryland Tax Court or the Maryland Board of Contract Appeals.

Your federal case can be appealed to the U.S. District Court, and then to the U.S. Court of Appeals and ultimately to the U.S. Supreme Court.
