About this Gig
An unfavorable judgment does not have to be the end of your case. Under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 59 and 60, strict deadlines and specific legal standards govern relief from judgments.

I analyze court orders, spot procedural and substantive errors, and craft rigorous legal arguments backed by binding federal case law.
