Our attorneys have nearly 200 reported appellate decisions in the courts of New York and New Jersey, including several significant decisions in the New York State Court of Appeals determining the scope and operation of an employer’s liability for grave injury to an employee.

Effective appellate advocacy requires a skill set distinct from that of a successful trial advocate. Our attorneys have a track record of success in state and federal appellate courts, and the breadth of our experience allows us to prepare and argue appellate briefs that are comprehensively researched, persuasively focused, and cost-effective.

Strikowsky Drachman & Shapiro PLLC’s appellate practice possesses a comprehensive understanding of the legal landscape and procedural rules. We utilize this knowledge to focus on the most compelling issues and press the arguments with the highest likelihood for success on appeal, advanced with first-tier written and oral advocacy skills.

We are frequently engaged to attend trials by insurers deploying us to protect the company’s interests distinct from defense counsel’s work on behalf of the insured. We assist in post-trial motion preparation, and provide evaluations on the merits and potential outcomes of appeals. We tailor our services to meet each client's specific needs, goals, and budgetary considerations. Our organizational structure enables us to tap into our collective resources and to serve our clients' interests efficiently. We offer flexibility in the appellate services we provide and are open to exploring alternative fee structures, including hybrid fee arrangements with success fees to enhance attorney-client partnership.
