When a case goes to trial, things may not always go according to plan. The conclusion of the trial, however, may not be the conclusion of your case. If you are unsatisfied with the results of your trial, you should consider pursuing your rights to an appeal. If you have prevailed, the opposing party may seek to reduce or overturn your judgment on appeal. Whether you want to file an appeal or work to have an appeal denied, you need an experienced appellate attorney on your side. At the Fairfax County law offices of Briglia Hundley Nuttall & Kay, P.C., we regularly handle criminal and civil cases in the appellate courts of Virginia.
Our extensive experience in both the trial and appellate courts of Virginia provides us with the knowledge needed to mount a successful appeal. Our lawyers possess an exceptional ability to identify and communicate the unique issues in a case that make it worthy of appellate consideration. We conduct a thorough investigation into the details of each appeal we handle. We then carefully navigate the complex procedures of the appellate courts to insure your appeal rights are preserved, craft a thoroughly researched and well-written brief for submission to the court, and, if granted, present your case to the court in a concise and studiously prepared oral argument.
Our attorneys routinely represent clients before the state and federal appellate courts of Virginia. We have handled cases in the Virginia Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court of Virginia and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. On one occasion, we had the exceptional privilege to appear before the United States Supreme Court where we successfully argued that the well known Miranda warnings were constitutionally required and could not be overturned by statute. See Dickerson v. United States, 530 U.S. 428 (2000).
