Christian & Small’s appellate practice spans a wide variety of substantive legal issues, ranging from questions of constitutional law to complex corporate matters and personal injury cases. In addition to assisting with strategy and briefing in the trial court and advising clients and other lawyers on preserving error for appeal, our appellate attorneys handle interlocutory appeals, petitions for writs of mandamus, post-verdict motions, and appeals – in cases within the firm, in cases in which lawyers from outside the firm are lead trial counsel, and in cases in which nonparties wish to submit amicus curiae briefs.
Our appellate team has successfully briefed and argued appeals before the United States Supreme Court, the Fifth and Eleventh Circuit Courts of Appeal, the Alabama Supreme Court, intermediate courts of appeal, as well as appellate courts in various other jurisdictions.
