Appellate Practice
We Have the Interest and Experience it takes to handle a Case on Appeal
Our appellate practice is tailored to the needs of our client. We have the experience and reputation to bring your issue to the next level. We work directly with individuals and businesses who were parties in a lawsuit and we also work with trial attorneys who are reluctant to accept an appeal due to time constraints, location or other conflicts. Not every lawyer has the experience or interest it takes to handle a case on appeal. We do.
Appellate work is a specialty. It requires attorneys who are willing to do the research and writing it takes to produce a product that will stand up to the scrutiny of appellate court judges. The courts of appeal create a rarified environment. We embrace it; we understand it; and we have experienced significant success. Our appellate advocacy has been responsible for changes to and definition of laws ranging from Arkansas laws that deal with serving intoxicated bar patrons to Texas laws covering bad faith actions against insurers.
A good trial lawyer is not necessarily a good appellate attorney. We can stand behind our claims of effective appellate advocacy in appeals from state and federal District and Circuit courts, administrative agencies and the United States District Courts throughout Texas and Arkansas. Mercy Carter Tidwell attorneys routinely handle the following matters:
- Preparation of appellate briefs
- Petitions for review and petitions for writ of certiorari
- Oral advocacy in appellate proceedings
- Analysis of trial records for appellate potential
- Original proceedings, including mandamus
- Post-verdict proceedings in trial courts
- Preparing and arguing jury charges
- Preservation of error in trial
