Appeals Overview

By J. Douglas Barics
Suffolk County Appellate Attorney

Appellate lawyer J. Douglas Barics has handled numerous appeals in the Appellate Division of New York. By combining significant trial experience with a deep knowledge of appellate law, he brings a wide range of skills as an effective advocate for his clients.

At the Law Office of J. Douglas Barics, we recognize that litigation does not end with a trial decision or judgment. A favorable judgment is only as effective as upheld by an appeals court, and an unfavorable judgment can be substantially remedied by an appeal, but only if trial counsel sufficiently preserves the issues for appellate review.

The appellate brief is only one part of the appellate process, and the best appeals have their foundations laid out well before the underlying trial begins.

But the perfect appeal doesn't exist, and being able to adapt to each specific case and address each specific roadblock is part of what we do.

We welcome inquiries directly from potential clients and from trial counsel who are in need of appellate assistance. Appellate advocacy goes far beyond merely writing a good brief, there are procedural landmines which must be avoided and are traps for the unwary.

Appellate attorney J. Douglas Barics is often retained as appellate counsel to assist trial attorneys in representing their clients effectively.
