Appeals
Appellate courts operate differently from trial courts and a case on appeal can look markedly different than the case before the trial court. Henderson Parks has experienced appellate advocates familiar with the unique procedures and processes in the appellate courts. We bring a fresh perspective to appeals and crafting arguments that will resonate with appellate courts.
