Appellate Representation

Law is not a cut and dry business. Sometimes judges and juries simply do not deliver the correct or appropriate decision. As society's laws have become increasingly complex—sometimes blurring the distinction between what the law requires and what it allows—you need a lawyer who can handle appellate matters with the confidence and composure needed to overturn a previous court decision.

Conveniently located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Holmes & Wiseley, P.C. has lawyers who are members of the bar associations in multiple states and have successfully represented appellants and appellees clients in the 6th and 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, Michigan Court of Appeals and Michigan Supreme Court

The Essence of Appeal

Filing for an appeal escalates your case to a higher court for further examination by a judge.  There are no witnesses or juries. In most states, an appeal is brought before an appellate court where the actions and decisions of a trial are inspected. Questions on laws or alleged procedural errors are thoroughly analyzed as the appellate judges review the same evidence and exhibits presented during the trial. Unfavorable court rulings can be overturned with the help of skilled legal counsel.
