Appellate Advocacy

Our attorneys are experienced, seasoned appellate advocates who can assist in all aspects of the appellate process. Because we have tried complex cases to jury and bench verdicts, we understand how important the trial court is to a successful appeal.

Gustafson Gluek’s appellate attorneys draw from years of experience practicing before courts at every level of the state and federal system. We have successfully briefed and argued various complex class and non-class cases and have been called upon by peers to assist in the appellate process for their clients.  In addition, we have frequently written briefs and appeared as amicus curiae (friend of the court) on behalf of several professional organizations.
