Appeals

Sometimes the Judge fails and does not enter the correct Orders. In that case, you can hire Palmer Family Law to appeal your Orders to the Court of Appeals. Your Denver-based attorney will review your Orders, draft and file your appeal, and even argue your case in front of the panel of Judges. Not all attorneys have appeals experience, but Palmer Family Law does. By hiring Palmer Family Law, you are ensuring that you have experienced representation to argue against Orders that are wrong. We will help you analyze your case to determine if the Orders can be changed, and walk with you through the entire process. Choosing whether or not to pursue an appeal of a family law decision is a serious decision, and on top of that it is time-sensitive. In most cases, you only have a few weeks to decide if you want to proceed through the process. You will have to decide if the possibility of winning your appeal is worth the time and money that it will take, not to mention the impact of the existing Orders. An experienced attorney, who knows family and appellate law, can walk you through this decision.
