INDIANA APPELLATE LAWYERS

The appellate attorneys at Waldron Tate Land LLC provide experienced, strategic representation in appeals throughout Indiana and in the federal courts. Whether you are seeking to overturn an unfavorable judgment/court order or defend a favorable result on appeal, our attorneys have the knowledge, experience, and advocacy skills necessary to guide you through every stage of the appellate process.

Our appellate practice represents individuals, businesses, insurers, governmental entities, and trial counsel in a wide variety of complex civil appeals. We have successfully represented clients before the Indiana Court of Appeals, the Indiana Supreme Court, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. From the initial evaluation of appellate issues through briefing, oral argument, and petitions for rehearing or transfer, we focus on presenting clear, persuasive legal arguments designed to achieve the best possible outcome.

Appellate Experience Built on Trial Experience

Successful appellate advocacy requires more than exceptional legal writing. It requires a thorough understanding of how cases are developed in the trial court, how issues are preserved for appeal, and how appellate decisions affect future litigation. In addition to having significant experience as clerks at the Indiana Court of Appeals and Indiana Supreme Court, our attorneys bring a unique perspective because they are experienced trial lawyers who have litigated complex civil and criminal cases from filing through trial.

This combination of trial and appellate experience allows us to identify the strongest appellate issues, anticipate opposing arguments, and present compelling legal analysis grounded in both the record and controlling law. We understand that appeals are won through meticulous preparation, strategic thinking, and persuasive advocacy.

Unique Insight into the Appellate Courts

Our appellate attorneys bring a unique perspective gained from serving as judicial law clerks for judges on both the Indiana Court of Appeals and the Indiana Supreme Court. That experience provides valuable insight into how appellate courts review cases, analyze legal issues, and evaluate written and oral advocacy.

This behind-the-scenes understanding enables us to craft briefs that are focused, well-researched, and responsive to the questions appellate judges consider most important.

Comprehensive Appellate Representation

Our appellate practice is not limited to any single area of law. We represent clients in appeals involving:

• Criminal defense
• Personal injury and wrongful death
• Medical malpractice
• Business and commercial disputes
• Civil rights and constitutional litigation
• Insurance coverage and bad faith
• Employment litigation
• Real estate and property disputes
• Contract disputes
• Governmental liability
• Professional negligence
• Probate and trust litigation
• Administrative and regulatory appeals
• Family law

Even with being retained solely for the appeal, we quickly become familiar with the record, identify the issues that matter most, and develop an effective appellate strategy.

Services for Trial Counsel

Many of our appellate engagements come through referrals from other attorneys and law firms. We regularly serve as appellate counsel while trial counsel remains involved in the case. We can assist at every stage of litigation, including:

• Evaluating potential appellate issues
• Preserving issues for appeal during trial
• Preparing post-trial motions
• Drafting appellate briefs
• Responding to appeals
• Preparing and presenting oral argument
• Petitions for rehearing and transfer
• Seventh Circuit and other federal appellate matters

Our goal is to work collaboratively with trial counsel while providing clients with focused appellate advocacy.
