Illinois Appeals Attorney
The attorneys of Polinske & Associates, P.C. are experienced in representing clients on appeal. We have the skills necessary to review a case, research the laws and the facts involved and draft an appellate brief.
The appeals process protects the rights of those who were wronged by an error in process, procedure or application of the law at the trial court level. Our law firm is well-positioned to handle family law appeals. We have an active trial and appellate practice.
We represent clients in a broad range of family law appeals, including:
- Debt and asset division appeals
- Child custody appeals
- Spousal maintenance appeals
- Child support appeals
What Can Be Appealed?
Not every case can be appealed to a higher court. A mistake of some sort must have been made at the trial court level for an appeal court to consider the case. The side seeking the appeal (the appellant) must have objected to the mistake at the time. The issue involved must have merit. That is, the appellant must be able to prove that the trial court made a mistake. In addition, the appellant must show that the mistake may have made a difference in the outcome of the trial.
If you and your lawyer believe the outcome of your family law issue was made in error, you can rely on us for an honest assessment of your prospects on appeal. Our law firm also defends clients in family law appeals.
