Family Law Appeals

If a court has issued a ruling that you believe to be erroneous, unfair, or otherwise impartial, you may be able to appeal this decision. This gives individuals recourse to correct for mistakes that may have either not been considered or other factors that could have improperly influenced the ruling to go one way or another.

If you wish to appeal your case, you have a limited amount of time to do so, so it’s important to work with a skilled attorney who can help with appellate matters to start developing your brief as soon as possible. This brief must carefully outline the reason you are choosing to appeal the previous decision, including detailing why you believe the previous decision was incorrect. It’s important to note that appeals cannot consider any new evidence or additional information that was not brought up in the initial trial. Once both parties have submitted their briefs, a panel of appellate judges hear arguments from both sides and then determine whether or not to allow for the appeal to stand.

At Siegel, Colin, & Kaufman, we can assist with appellate matters, including helping you petition for an appeal in the event of an erroneous decision. Talk to our team today to learn more about your options.

"They were great people to be associated with during a tense and unpleasant time."
When I went through my divorce, I worked with Siegel, Reilly & Kaufman. They were great people to be associated with during a tense and unpleasant time. The entire process was done in six months from filing; I attribute this to the professionalism, integrity, and realism brought to the situation by Fred Siegel and his partners. And I believe my ex received what she needed, or we never would have completed the process so seamlessly - or humanely. Forget the movies you've seen about divorce lawyers; these are excellent, stand-up guys who helped me achieve a positive outcome. I highly recommend SR&K

"This is an outstanding law firm that has successfully represented my husband (regarding custody issues with his ex-wife) for years."
This is an outstanding law firm that has successfully represented my husband (regarding custody issues with his ex-wife) for years. Ross Kaufman is smart, aggressive, and knows how to read the opposing party and their attorney. His prices are absolutely worth it. We've referred several colleagues to this firm, and they've all experienced similarly positive outcomes. If you can't decide on who to retain for counsel, look no further.

"The best divorce lawyer and divorce practice, whether you are a movie star or an ordinary, unknown star on the ground who loves their family."
The best divorce lawyer and divorce practice whether you are a movie star or an ordinary unknown star on the ground who loves their family. Fred Siegel is nationally rated among the best of the peer reviewed Super Lawyers and he and his colleagues have more than earned the ratings. Even in the most complicated of cases, issues are resolved with results. Among both New York and CT elites, he is viewed as tops. The practice also distinguishes itself with the rare quality of civil and decent people who are a pleasure to work with. Having worked with many lawyers, cannot recommend highly enough.

I have used law firms in all 50 states and on basically every continent and every major metropolitan city.
