Following a trial, family law lawyers often need to counsel their clients on how to appeal the court's ruling. This requires working with appellate counsel to identify legal and factual errors from the trial and guiding the client through the appeal process.
- Advise your client on the risks and benefits of an appeal
- Determine if a final order has been issued
- Seek a stay of the court's order to preserve the established custodial environment
- Ensure the newly acquired evidence is considered by the trial court on remand
