Civil Appeals
Indianapolis Appellate Law Attorneys
At the law firm of Price Waicukauski & Riley, in Indianapolis, Indiana, our appellate law attorneys have extensive experience advocating before the Indiana Court of Appeals, the Indiana Supreme Court, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Our attorneys also have experience as clerks to appellate judges and as teachers of appellate advocacy skills that have proved invaluable in their representation of clients appealing or defending decisions in state and federal court.
Our appellate practice covers all areas of civil law, including business litigation, personal injury, medical malpractice, legal malpractice, products liability, and environmental law. Generally, a party may only appeal a case decision or interim ruling where there has been an error of law or procedure. Factual determinations by a jury are not subject to appeal. Errors of law or procedure may occur in a variety of ways, including:
- Incorrect instructions given by the judge
- Incorrect evidentiary rulings
- Incorrect application of a statute
- Incorrect applications of constitutional protections (4th Amendment, for example)
Because of our experience as advocates in numerous appeals, the appellate lawyers of Price Waicukauski & Riley have been retained solely for the purpose of prosecuting the appeal after another firm has been unsuccessful in the initial trial. Sometimes, it is the client who initiates the contact and sometimes it is the trial attorney who handled the original civil case. No matter how the case comes to us, our first course of action is usually to speak with the original trial lawyer in order to gain insight regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the case, and what the appealable issues may be
