Dedicated to Client Satisfaction

When a case reaches the appellate level, the stakes are often high. A favorable trial outcome must be defended against challenge, or an unfavorable ruling must be contested to protect a client’s rights. At PH&L, we pride ourselves on offering responsive and thorough appellate representation tailored to the unique circumstances of each case. We carefully review the trial record, analyze potential errors, and identify the strongest legal grounds for appeal. By getting involved early, we can often help shape the issues that will ultimately be reviewed, ensuring that our clients’ positions are presented in the most persuasive way possible.

Comprehensive Appellate Services

Our firm offers a full range of appellate services, covering every stage of the process. We prepare motions for summary judgment, trial memoranda, and post-trial motions that lay the foundation for appeals. We also draft and file appellate briefs that are the product of meticulous research and careful attention to the record. In addition, our attorneys argue motions in limine on evidentiary issues and handle requests to charge, ensuring that important legal issues are preserved for review. When it comes time for oral argument, we bring both experience and skill to the podium, presenting clear, compelling advocacy before appellate panels.

Record of Success

Over the past two decades, our attorneys have argued significant cases that have helped shape New Jersey law. These include Ferrante v. New Jersey Manufacturers Ins. Grp., 232 N.J. 460 (2018), Wadeer v. New Jersey Manufacturers Ins. Co. (2015) and James v. New Jersey Manufacturers Ins. Co.

(2005), we served as amicus curiae on behalf of the New Jersey Defense Association, helping to influence the development of state insurance law.
