The initial litigation in your personal injury case occurs in the Supreme Court, also known as the ‘trial court’ level. Under New York Law, either party can pursue an appeal from virtually any Decision, ruling, or verdict. Appeals from the New York Supreme Court are taken to the Appellate Division, and from there, possibly to the Court of Appeals. Practice in the New York State appellate courts is highly specialized and requires knowledge of the unique rules of practice and procedure applicable to those courts.
At Maynard, O’Connor, our appellate practitioners have experience in prosecuting and defending appeals in all state and federal appellate courts. This firm has argued appeals on virtually every type of legal issue arising out of personal injury litigation. Members of the firm are admitted to handle appeals in each of the New York State appellate departments, the New York State Court of Appeals, the federal District Courts for the Southern, Northern, and Western Districts, the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and the US Supreme Court. In 2013, Rob Rausch was honored by Super Lawyers and included in its limited selection of upstate Appellate practitioners.
