Melick, Porter & Shea’s appellate attorneys also understand that the process of successful appellate advocacy begins long before a notice of appeal is filed. Success or failure on appeal often depends upon the preservation of arguments in the lower court, or upon the submission of evidence, or of an offer of proof. For these reasons, our litigation attorneys actively consult with the firm’s appellate attorneys at every stage of litigation. The opportunity to have an appellate perspective while a case is pending in the lower court has been an important contributing factor to the firm’s litigation success.
