Appellate Litigation
Challenging and Defending Decisions in Higher Courts
Winning or losing a case in trial court isn’t always the end. If you believe your case was mishandled or decided unfairly, an appeal could give you a second chance. At the Law Office of Kevin G. Little, we represent clients in both civil and criminal appeals throughout California’s state and federal courts.
Appellate litigation is a highly technical area of law. It requires deep knowledge of legal procedure, strong written advocacy, and a sharp eye for identifying trial errors. Whether you’re seeking to overturn a wrongful conviction or challenge a civil court ruling, we’re ready to fight for your rights on appeal. If you're considering an appeal, timing is critical. Call us today at (559) 342-5800 or contact us online to schedule a free consultation.
