Nielsen, Broman & Koch P.L.L.C
We provide a wide range of affordable, quality civil and criminal appellate and post-conviction services with a flexible pricing structure.
Consulting
A successful appeal begins at trial. And an adequate trial record is often the most important factor in a successful appeal. We are available to consult with clients and trial counsel in planning strategies, and preserving issues for appeal in the event an appeal is necessary. In this role, we can also assist trial counsel in preparing dispositive pre-trial motions, trial briefs, special jury instructions, and post-trial motions.
Association
We understand that clients often have strong, trusting relationships with their trial attorneys and are reluctant to turn their cases over to an appeals attorney whom they do not know. We also recognize that many good trial attorneys have limited appellate experience. We are available to associate with counsel either immediately after trial or when the record is perfected. We evaluate the case and provide an objective assessment of the likelihood of success on appeal. If the appeal has merit and the client elects to proceed, we can consult with trial counsel on the factual and legal issues, prepare all necessary briefs, and present oral argument.
Representation
We also accept referrals from trial counsel; or clients may retain us directly. We will litigate an appeal from the initial filing of the Notice of Appeal to its conclusion. We assess the merits of the appeal, advise the client, prepare all necessary briefs and motions, present oral argument, and seek further relief as necessary. In short, we are a full service appeals firm ready to litigate every aspect of an appeal from start to finish.
