Cooksey helps its clients through the complex and often confusing world of appellate litigation. Cooksey has represented appellants and appellees in a broad spectrum of writs, post-trial motions, petitions, and appeals before state and federal appeals courts. Where possible, Cooksey seeks to end appellate litigation at the earliest possible phase of the case through motions to dismiss. Our attorneys have successfully argued matters before California courts of appeal and the U.S. Circuit Courts for numerous published and unpublished wins.
