Appeals & Appellate Practice
You may think it is the end of the line if your motion has been denied, your case has been dismissed, or judgment has been obtained against you. There is hope, however. That’s where the Long Island Appellate Practice of Akiva Shapiro Law comes in. It is not infrequent that the court makes a mistake in fact or in law. The fact is that the courts are overwhelmed, and they must make their decisions and write their rulings under time pressure to move cases along. Very often, it is the law clerk, not the judge, who writes the opinion, and it is only ratified by the judge, who relies on his or her clerk for the details and the research.
The court may either misapprehend a fact, miss a critical fact or argument, misinterpret the law, or simply come to a conclusion not supported by the law and the facts. It could also be that the court assumed the existence of facts never presented, based on context, but ungrounded in the pleadings and motion papers before it.
It is in these instances where Akiva Shapiro Law can help you. Akiva Shapiro gets into the details of the matter and seeks out those things which just don’t logically add up. He then thoroughly researches the law for cases which are similar to yours in which the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division ruled favorably to your position. This forms the basis for the appeal. The appeal is then perfected and is submitted either for oral argument or written only. Akiva Shapiro’s skills and experience in these areas of appellate practice can help you turn an unfavorable decision into a winning case.
