Appellate Law

Gould Killian is known by other firms as a valuable resource when it comes time to appeal a case. Many lawyers handle trial level lawsuits, but not appellate law. Gould Killian has handled many state and federal appeals in various different areas of law, including arbitration issues, real estate, probate, tax appeals, and FOI litigation. Attorney Martin Gould has argued successfully before the Connecticut Appellate and Supreme Courts, and the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals. We have extensive experience in identifying, researching and analyzing the often complex, key issues in an appellate law, and in preparing persuasive and comprehensive briefs.

We appreciate the opportunity to discuss a possible appeal with any litigant or attorney trying to make this sometimes difficult decision of whether to appeal an unfavorable decision in the lower court. Please contact Attorney Martin Gould if you are considering taking an appeal or find yourself having to defend one.
