Appellate Practice Areas

Federal appellate practice has its own rules, standards of review, and strategic considerations.

📜 Direct Appeals

Appeals from federal district court judgments. Full record review, issue identification, brief writing, and oral argument.

🔒 2255 Motions

Post-conviction relief under 28 USC 2255 for constitutional violations, jurisdictional defects, and ineffective assistance.

⚖ Interlocutory Appeals

Appeals from pretrial rulings on bail, suppression, and double jeopardy. Limited but critical opportunities for immediate review.

📋 Sentencing Appeals

Challenges to guideline calculations, upward departures, and substantively unreasonable sentences.
