Experienced Missouri Appellate Attorneys
At the Kallen Law Firm, LLC, I have substantial appellate experience including arguing appeals before the Supreme Court of Missouri. I handle appeals both for my own clients and on referral from other lawyers.
My appellate work spans a great deal of family law issues as well as other civil litigation matters. I have handled appeals involving spousal maintenance, termination of parental rights and a wide range of other legal matters.
The Key to Successful Appeals
Appealing a case successfully requires a completely different set of skills than litigating successfully at the trial court level. Appellate attorneys prepare thorough documents — called appellate briefs — which they present to a panel of appellate judges.
Appellate briefs are based on a thorough review of the trial record as well as an in-depth analysis of the laws and procedures involved. They often take hours of careful research and legal analysis.
At the Kallen Law Firm, LLC, this thorough preparation is one of the keys to my success in appeals. I am a strong writer and meticulously craft strong appellate briefs. I also have years of experience presenting appellate arguments before panels of judges in our appellate courts, including my experience before the Missouri Supreme Court.
