Q. What exactly does it mean that your appellate briefs are guaranteed?
A. If Lawfinders undertakes the research and writing of your appellate brief, and the decision is adverse to you in the appellate court, we'll refund our fee - in full.
Q. Are there any exceptions?
A. Only one. We can't promise to accept every case.
Q. How do I know Lawfinders will accept my case?
A. If you're a respondent, you'll have your answers in just a few minutes with a single phone call.
Q. What if I'm the appellant?
A. Then, there are a few simple steps. After all, you want to be sure of the odds before you undertake a costly and time-consuming appeal.
Q. So, you can help me decide if an appeal is worthwhile?
A. Yes, and we'll provide an opinion at no cost to you or your client.
Q. How do you help me decide?
A. At no expense to you, Lawfinders will do the research and analysis needed to gauge your chances on appeal.
Q. How do you report your findings?
A. We can discuss them over the phone. And if time allows, we'll provide you with a written report. In either case, we evaluate the errors of the lower court and explore the probable merits of your case. We also detail the arguments to be made on your behalf. You can be sure that our opinion will be starkly realistic. After all, if Lawfinders accepts your case under our Program, we lose if you do.
Q. I get a candid evaluation of my case, and I don't pay anything for it?
A. Correct. There is no charge for an initial evaluation.
Q. Why can't you guarantee every brief you write?
A. Our experience in appellate matters suggests that some appeals stand little chance of success. Naturally, some appeals are without legal merit, or the case law goes very much against them.
Q. Do you take a case with arguable points even though you can't guarantee it?
A. Yes, we do. Many attorneys and corporate legal departments delegate their appellate briefs to Lawfinders under just such circumstances. They know a vigorous argument will be mounted, despite the odds.
