New York City Family Appeals Lawyers

Successful Appeals Start with Experienced Legal Representation

An appeal in a New York family law case or a divorce is a legal proceeding where New York family law attorneys represent a party wishing to have a decision reviewed by a higher court. In New York, most family law cases are heard by the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court.

The job of the Appellate Division is to review the decision of the trial court and determine whether the correct law was applied, and procedures were properly followed in rendering its decision.

This makes it incredibly important that you retain a team of highly persuasive attorneys capable of framing the issues and laying out your justification under the law.
