With deep knowledge of state and federal law and appellate procedure, our law firm has the know-how to handle the most complex criminal, civil, family law and commercial appeals.
A Nationwide State and Federal Appellate Practice
As a result of our broad-based national practice, we are able to represent clients not only in New York state courts, but in all federal appellate courts, including the Supreme Court, across the country. In out-of-state cases, H Kaufman & Associates may apply to regularly team up with local counsel in other jurisdictions to overcome any obstacles this may present. Our knowledge of U.S. appellate law and practice is applicable to federal courts of appeal throughout the U.S.
The determination of appealable issues is difficult without some investigation of the file and examination of the record. We will perform such an investigation for a flat fee that will be credited to your account if we determine that an appeal is an appropriate remedy in your case.

- Criminal appeals on grounds such as unconstitutional search and seizure, evidentiary issues, sentencing issues, prosecutorial misconduct, withholding of evidence or ineffective counsel actions. Examples of criminal cases we handle include capital crimes, white collar and corporate crime, federal drug conspiracies, RICO actions, assault, and related offenses.
- Family law appeals involving divorce, child custody, visitation, parental rights, property settlements and virtually any family law issue that affects a substantial right.
