Successful New York Civil Appellate Lawyer
Decades of Civil Appellate Experience
At the office of Herman Kaufman, Esq., we've developed successful appellate strategies over the course of nearly 40 years in practice. Our keen knowledge of the law and civil appellate practice is evidenced by our impressive track record and reputation.
Our firm represents appellants who seek to overturn an unfavorable outcome in a lower court, as well as respondents who want to uphold a successful result. From the outset, we offer evaluations of your case and give you objective advice on the chances of a successful appeal.
The Civil Appellate Process
In a civil appellate case, the process begins with the filing of a notice of appeal. We conduct an in-depth review of the trial record and exhibits, or judgment of the lower court, to identify potential issues for appeal. We then research the law involved and draft a forceful appellate brief. Upon receipt of the respondent's brief, we draft a reply brief. In the final stage, we prepare and present a persuasive oral argument before a panel of appellate judges.
Our office handles a wide variety of civil appeals in state and federal courts in New York and across the country. The types of cases include:
- Torts
- Property disputes
- Labor and employment issues
- Corporate disputes
- Real estate disputes
- Commercial disputes
- Public employees' rights - discharge without due process
We also handle appellate motions and post-decision motions for clients who have lost the first appeal and seek further relief from a higher appellate court. Some of the appellate motions seek interim relief, such as a stay of enforcement of a judgment.

Clients, including other attorneys, turn to the office of Herman Kaufman, Esq., to represent them in state and federal court appeals in New York and in many other states as well.
