By limiting our practice areas to appeals, writs and trial consultation, Lascher & Lascher offers clients a level of quality and expertise often lacking in firms with a more general practice. Our dedication to the craft of appellate law translates to thorough, focused attention to each of our clients’ unique needs and situations. Here are some of the ways in which we can help our clients prepare to win, preserve the record in case of a bad result, and limit costs:

• The outcome of appeals is frequently determined by trial counsel's selection of issues and presentation of facts.To preserve the record, trial lawyers strategize with us at the pleading stage and throughout trial.
• We help trial counsel make more focused, more persuasive motions before, during, and after trial.
• We draft effective jury instructions based on the most current legal theories.
• We keep up with trends and “hot button” issues.
• We bring the same fresh perspective to your case that appellate courts will use when they review the record.
• Thorough evaluation before starting an appeal can avoid costly mistakes. While we aggressively represent our clients, we also carefully evaluate settlement possibilities.
• Special rules apply to appeals and writs. We are familiar with the procedures and time limits that apply in the higher courts.
• We understand how to stay enforcement of judgments to protect clients from execution while their appeals are pending.
• Well-written briefs are crucial for succeeding on appeal. We are experts at stating facts and explaining law and public policy concisely and persuasively.
• Oral argument on appeal is different from questioning a witness or arguing to a jury. We are comfortable appearing in person at every level from administrative hearings to the United States Supreme Court.
• We apply our experience in all aspects of post-decision practice: rehearing petitions, requests to publish or de-publish an opinion, cost and fee motions, seeking or avoiding Supreme Court review, petitions for certiorari, Supreme Court briefs, and remand issues.
• When other appellate experts represent a client, they often come to us to critique their proposals and conduct moot court arguments.
