Appellate Advocacy

Experienced Rhode Island Appellate Law Attorney Argues Your Case

Skilled lawyer serving clients in the Providence area safeguards their due process rights in state and federal appeals

As an appellate lawyer at Gardiner Law, I am dedicated to providing clients in the Providence area and throughout Rhode Island the highest caliber representation in all phases of litigation, including appeals. I draw on vast experience appealing adverse trial court rulings and successfully defending lower court victories on appeal. I do so by keeping abreast of litigation trends and ever-changing case law.

Established Rhode Island firm determines areas of appeal

I monitor each case I try for potential points of appeal, ensuring any errors against you are preserved for post-trial relief and that I am prepared to defend rulings in your favor. Likewise, I review any cases I accept from other firms for challenges such as:

  • Sufficiency of the evidence
  • Improper legal interpretation
  • Improperly admitted testimony
  • Expert admission
  • Procedural errors
  • Faulty jury instructions

Not all verdicts or decisions can be appealed, but I will undertake careful research of the facts in your case to advise you on the best course of action in an appeal.

Thorough counselor handles a range of appellate actions

At Gardiner Law, I draw on considerable experience filing and answering:

  • Motions for post-trial relief
  • Motions to vacate
  • Motions for reconsideration
  • Motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict
  • Appeal briefs
  • Writs
  • Amicus curiae briefs

I have the legal knowledge needed to handle briefing and oral arguments before state and federal appellate courts throughout Rhode Island and will provide the advice and advocacy my clients need in appellate actions.
