Civil Appeal Litigation Strategy
Non-Criminal Civil Appeals in Texas
The most successful appeals require ample preparation, often beginning long before trial has ended. By collaborating with proven civil appellate lawyers, trial attorneys can benefit from invaluable foresight and experience that enables them to best position their cases to prevail on appeal. A well-structured approach and strategy are crucial to future success, especially in complex litigation with potential implications at the appellate level.
Please note: Our lawyers do not take criminal appeals cases.

Preparation, Appeals and Proven Results
Civil appellate cases can be won or lost by how well lawyers anticipate and prepare for key issues that define the strategy for negotiation, litigation, and appeal. As the team of “law lawyers” trial attorneys turn to in challenges cases, our civil appeals team knows the importance of early involvement and counsel, which can help trial attorneys and clients:
- Prepare pretrial strategy and mandamus motions
- Evaluate major procedural and technical issues as they unfold
- Anticipate potential implications at the appellate level
- Construct litigation strategies driven by foresight and experience with appeals
- Prepare a record and litigate to best position a case to win on appeal
- Minimize potential for error and inefficiency
By bringing a different approach and depth of training to litigation, our appellate team helps trial lawyers and clients identify potential points to be highlighted in any future arguments regarding procedural errors or errors in interpretation and application of the law, and structure strategies and steps that take those issues and their potential appellate implications into account as trials unfold. Our team consults trial lawyers and represents clients in litigation in a range of civil matters – from contract disputes and commercial torts to insurance and intellectual property law.
In addition to litigation strategy and trial support, we provide guidance through all phases of the appellate process, a task that requires a keen understanding of not only technical and operative legal facts in a case, but also the special rules, procedures, and considerations that drive the appellate process. For even the most seasoned litigators, support from dedicated appellate professionals, especially at the earliest possible stage, can be invaluable.

"You saved me from unimaginable financial mess and I appreciate it so much!"
Cannot recommend Keith enough! My lawyer had to go abruptly on medical leave and Keith took over my case. He was not just a lawyer but a very empathetic, diligent, supportive person who literally took the time and did hours of research and informed me the right course of action. He pulled up very old cases to guide me and told me the right course of action for the non-compete agreement while working in the service area agreement - abiding by both medical contracts. He was prompt and efficient and answered emails in a timely fashion. He will go very far in life because he does not take this as a profession but takes complete ownership of the case. He is very approachable, helpful, and gives sincere, impartial, unbiased advice. I wish him all the best in the future!! You saved me from an unimaginable financial mess, and I appreciate it so much!!
