Ohio Appeals Attorney
Not every case ends at the trial court. If you’ve received an unfavorable judgment, you may have the right to appeal. At Anderson Law Firm, we guide clients through the complex appeals process in Ohio, working to correct legal errors and pursue justice in higher courts.
What Is an Appeal?
An appeal is not a retrial — it’s a review of the trial court’s decision by a higher court. The appellate court examines whether legal errors or procedural mistakes affected the outcome.
Types of Appeals We Handle
- Civil Appeals – property disputes, contract cases, probate rulings, personal injury verdicts.
- Administrative Appeals – challenges to state or local agency decisions.
Grounds for Appeal in Ohio
- Misapplication of the law.
- Improperly admitted or excluded evidence.
- Constitutional rights violations.
- Errors in jury instructions.
The Appeals Process in Ohio
- Notice of Appeal – filed shortly after judgment.
- Record on Appeal – transcripts and filings from the trial court.
- Appellate Briefs – written legal arguments.
- Oral Argument – in some cases, attorneys argue before a panel of judges.
- Decision – the appellate court may affirm, reverse, or remand the case.
Strict Deadlines in Appeals
Civil and criminal appeals in Ohio have short filing deadlines (often 30 days). Missing these deadlines may forfeit your right to appeal.
