I will write a powerful appellate brief argument or statement of facts
United States
Your Licensed US Attorney for Persuasive Legal Writing
About this Gig
An appeal is not a second trial; it's a critical, and often final, opportunity to argue that a legal error occurred in the trial court. The success of your appeal hinges almost entirely on the quality and persuasiveness of your written brief.
As a licensed US attorney with expertise in legal writing, I will draft key sections of your appellate brief with the precision and scholarly rigor that appellate courts demand. I focus on weaving the facts from the record with compelling legal arguments, framed under the correct standard of review.
My Expertise Covers:
- The Statement of the Case: Crafting a narrative from the trial record that subtly frames the issues in your favor.
- The Legal Argument: Building a powerful, well-researched argument grounded in precedent and statute, showing the trial court erred.
- Standard of Review: Applying the correct standard (e.g., de novo, abuse of discretion) to each issue, a critical component of any appellate brief.
Disclaimer: This service is for drafting sections of your brief only and is not a full-service appeal representation. You are responsible for issue selection, meeting all deadlines, and filing.

FAQ
What do I need to provide to start?
You must provide the relevant portions of the Record on Appeal, including the order you are appealing from, trial transcripts, and key motions or exhibits. You must also identify the specific legal issue(s) you want me to address.
Do you handle both appellant and appellee briefs?
Yes. I can draft arguments from either perspective—arguing that a legal error occurred (appellant) or that the trial court's decision was correct (appellee).
Does your service include the entire brief?
The packages are for specific, labor-intensive sections. I do not draft procedural histories, tables of contents, or tables of authorities. My focus is on the most substantive parts: the facts and the argument.
Can you identify the issues for my appeal?
No. Identifying appealable issues is a form of legal advice that falls outside the scope of this gig. You must come to me with the specific issue(s) you wish to have briefed.
Is your legal research specific to my jurisdiction?
Yes. The Standard and Premium packages include legal research using Westlaw/Lexis and will focus on binding precedent from your specific appellate jurisdiction (e.g., a specific State Supreme Court or Federal Circuit Court of Appeals).
