The Law Office of Peggy A. Headley handles civil and criminal appeals in the State of California. Ms. Headley is also available to assist trial attorneys with appellate matters and to help evaluate the merits of a potential appeal.
Why hire an appellate attorney? Appellant law is a specialized area. California courts have recognized that utilizing an attorney schooled in appellate law can prove useful to the client as well as the trial attorney. (Marriage of Shaban (2001) 88 Cal.App.4th 398, 408-410; Estate of Gilkison (1998) 65 Cal.App.4th 1443, 1449-1450.)
Why hire an appellate specialist? An attorney certified as an appellate specialist by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization achieves this status only upon meeting certain standards. To become an appellate specialist, an attorney must pass a lengthy written test, possess sufficient experience handling appeals, satisfy stringent continuing legal education requirements and be favorably evaluated by other attorneys and judges.
