Using Local Ties And Legal Insight To Advocate Client Interests.

Strategic Appellate Representation Throughout New York

Appeals require a different skill set than trial-level litigation. Successful appellate advocacy demands exceptional legal research, persuasive writing, strategic issue development, and a thorough understanding of appellate procedure.

Gettinger Waldinger Monteleone Gushue & Hollis, LLP represents clients and law firms throughout New York in appellate matters involving commercial litigation, real estate disputes, business and shareholder disputes, condominium and homeowners association matters, construction litigation, landlord-tenant disputes, trust and estate litigation, and other complex civil matters.

Whether you are seeking to overturn an adverse decision, defend a favorable judgment, pursue emergency appellate relief, or engage appellate counsel to work alongside trial counsel, our attorneys provide experienced representation at every stage of the appellate process.

Appellate Advocacy Demands A Unique Skill Set

Appeals are not retrials. They require a completely different approach than standard litigation. While trial lawyers focus on witnesses and evidence, appeals attorneys focuses strictly on legal errors and judicial overreach.

Success depends on unique procedural skills, a meticulously crafted appellate brief and a sharp oral argument. When you work with our firm, we can assist you with:

  • Filing appeals as of right or pursuing an interlocutory appeal
  • Drafting emergency stay applications and motions for leave to appeal
  • Writing and editing persuasive briefs and presenting compelling oral advocacy
  • Providing strategic trial consultation to preserve your legal issues for review

Our attorneys provide experienced representation at every stage of the appellate process.

Valuable Perspective From Experienced Appellate Counsel 

Our appellate practice is led by Heather R. Gushue, a former court attorney for the New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Judicial Department. Heather spent years reviewing records and analyzing arguments from the inside. Now, she brings a practical understanding of how the court evaluates cases.  This experience provides a unique understanding of how appellate courts evaluate legal issues, review records, and assess written and oral advocacy. It also provides valuable insight into the factors that often determine whether an appeal succeeds or fails.

We use this background to help clients handle the heavy docket within the Appellate Division. Our team also provides a reliable local partnership for trial attorneys looking to outsource complex brief-writing.

We represent clients before:

  • The Appellate Division (First, Second, Third and Fourth Departments)
  • The New York Court of Appeals

Wherever your case is heard, we are ready to advocate for your interests.
