Skillful New York Appellate Lawyer Handling Federal Appeals Nationwide
Four Decades of Experience • Appeals Before U.S. District Courts, Federal Circuit Courts and the U.S. Supreme Court
Over the course of 40 years of practice, attorney Herman Kaufman has earned a reputation for being a knowledgeable and persuasive appellate advocate. At H. Kaufman Associates, we focus our entire practice on appellate law, giving us fluency in the law and procedure involved in a wide variety of cases in state and federal courts.
In federal appeals, we are working to protect our clients' substantial interests and fundamental rights. A federal appeal may take a great deal of time and attention to prepare effectively, and it may ultimately require hearings before more than one court.
We understand the importance of our clients' cases, and we provide tailored representation to every client, staying in close communication at every stage of the process, keeping clients informed through phone and e-mail as to the status of their cases.
Federal Appeals in All Districts and Circuits in the U.S.
Attorney Herman Kaufman is admitted to practice in the states of New York and Michigan, before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the Second Circuit (New York, Connecticut and Vermont), and the U.S. Supreme Court. These admissions allow Mr. Kaufman to be admitted pro hac vice in most appellate courts nationwide. In national appeals where bar admission is required, our firm knows how to work successfully with local counsel.
We represent clients in all appellate courts, from appeals that take place before a district court to cases before the federal circuit courts of appeal, special panels, en banc proceedings, all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. We handle appeals of virtually any federal case or issue, such as:
- Federal criminal convictions, appeals of sentencing including those involving the federal sentencing guidelines, and petitions for habeas corpus relief
- Civil controversies originating in federal courts, such as public employees' rights, interstate commerce and diversity jurisdiction cases
- Federal civil rights issues
- Fundamental rights in cases not originating in federal courts, such as family law appeals
