Appeals
The appeals process is very different than trial. Whereas in trial the goal is to establish facts, and then apply the law to those facts, in appellate cases, the issue is typically whether the trial court applied the law correctly in your case, or whether the appropriate standards and procedures were followed. Because the appeals process is very different than trial, you want to make sure that your advocate is familiar with the applicable rules and standards that apply on appeal. John has a great deal of experience with the Court of Appeals, having clerked for two years at that court, and then having appeared before that court on multiple occasions as an advocate, most recently with success in the matter In re Custody of J.E., (No. 32062-6-III, published August 4, 2015), wherein he was lead appellate counsel.*
If you believe that the outcome of your trial or appeal was unfair or incorrect, John is ready and willing to review your case for an appeal.
