Our experience includes all manner of appellate briefing in civil cases before the Oklahoma Supreme Court, Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals, federal Circuit Courts, as well as the United States Supreme Court. We believe that one of the essential components of a successful appeal is making the best possible record in the trial court, and we begin our preparation before the matter reaches judgment. Our trial attorneys assist our experienced appellate practitioners,as well, because we believe the trial lawyers most familiar with the case should be close at hand so that the appeal may be prosecuted in a cost-effective and efficient manner. We continue our work through our legal research, persuasive brief writing, and thoroughly-prepared oral argument, when necessary.
