Appeal
Review whether the existing record presents a viable legal or procedural issue for appellate consideration.
Evaluation and representation in New Jersey appeals, reconsideration motions, and post-judgment matters involving family, civil, and probate cases.
The ability to identify the correct issue, apply the proper standard of review, and present a focused written argument is central to appellate practice.
Not every unfavorable ruling presents a viable appellate issue.
Attorney Sharell T. Reddin reviews the order, procedural history, available record, and potential legal issues to evaluate whether appellate or other post-judgment relief should be considered.
Appellate and post-judgment strategy should begin with the order being challenged, the procedural history, preserved issues, available transcripts and exhibits, applicable deadlines, and the legal standard that will govern review.
The viability of appellate or post-judgment relief depends on the nature of the order, the existing record, the applicable standard of review, and the procedural options still available.
Appeals are often decided based on the existing record, written briefs, applicable law, and the standard of review.
Missing deadlines or failing to preserve an issue may affect the relief available.
For that reason, clients seeking review of a court order should obtain legal guidance promptly.
The available record, notice of entry, transcripts, exhibits, preserved objections, motion history, and filing deadlines may all affect whether and how a ruling can be challenged.
In some matters, an appeal may not be the only option.
Depending on the procedural posture, reconsideration, enforcement, modification, or another form of post-judgment relief may be more appropriate.
