Brief Writing

For many lawyers, committing weeks or sometimes months to preparing an appellate brief is literally impossible. Experience is also a factor. The average litigator may handle only 15 to 30 appeals over a career.

Lawfinders’ staff attorneys, on the other hand, can prepare that many briefs in six short months. With this depth of experience, you can be assured our work product is the highest quality.

We have delivered success to clients well above the average for civil appeals.

Outlining

All great and effective briefs are well organized and easy to follow. The key is to prepare a detailed outline before commencing with a draft. Detailed outlines are the foundation of Lawfinders’ winning briefs. They also afford you the opportunity to provide feedback early in the process, before time is invested in drafting the brief.

The detailed structure of points and sub-points we create is the architectural layout for all writing projects. Moreover, they ensure our drafting remains focused on developing the arguments that will maximize your chances of success on appeal.

Drafting

After a solid foundation for your brief has been planned and incorporated into an outline, Lawfinders commences with drafting your brief, focusing on telling a compelling story about the facts and the law that will lead to only one inevitable conclusion – success.

Focusing the court’s attention on the critical issues, explaining the facts, and analyzing the law succinctly and persuasively is truly an art, one that Lawfinders has mastered through years of experience and thousands of brief-writing engagements.  

Editing

Attention to detail is critical to giving your client the extra edge on appeal. A properly edited brief adds to the credibility of your client's position and can enhance the image of your firm.

At Lawfinders, a brief is considered incomplete the first time it comes out of the printer. Our team works relentlessly to edit and improve a first draft and each successive draft, until a winning draft emerges. It is then and only then that we present you with the brief for review and comment.

Of course, the draft is finalized by incorporating all your changes and suggestions to leverage your knowledge of the case and legal expertise.
