How Our San Francisco Family Law Appeals Attorneys Can Help You
There are opportunities to appeal family court decisions. However, appealing to family court rulings is a complicated and deadline-oriented process. It is imperative you consult with a family law appeals attorney, like those at Moradi Saslaw, before attempting any legal recourse after an unfavorable ruling.
At Moradi Saslaw, our family law appeals attorneys will review your family law matter to ensure you have grounds for an appeal and are within the legal timeframe to do so. If you qualify for an appeal, we will follow any necessary court rules and procedures to move your case to an appeals court.
Appellate courts are concerned with legal mistakes made during trials. If a legal error is found that affects the outcome of a case, the appellate court can reverse the trial court’s decision.
When appraising your case, Moradi Saslaw’s attorneys will:
Look for any legal errors made by the judge in your case;
Determine if that legal error affected the outcome of your case; and
If so, pursue a reversal of that decision through the appeals process.
For a thorough review of your family law case, contact Moradi Saslaw in San Francisco. We will give you an honest and practical evaluation of your matter and advise you if an appeal is in your best interests.
Alternatives to Family Law Appeals
There are alternatives to family law appeals. As an appeals court will only review a family law case for a legal mistake, they will not reverse a case for any other issues such as new evidence, facts, circumstances, or misconduct.
A better choice may be one of the following:
Filing a motion to set aside or vacate the judgment;
Filing a motion for reconsideration of the order;
Filing a motion for a new trial; or
Applying for a renewal.
These actions are also time-sensitive. Therefore, it is essential to speak with an attorney as quickly as possible if you are concerned about your family law trial.
