Led by the experience and reputation of George E. Murphy, the firm’s appellate lawyers have handled hundreds of appellate matters and obtained a long list of published decisions establishing important legal precedent in many areas of the law, including: public entity liability, civil rights, employment, discrimination, insurance, complex business transactions, personal injury, product liability, family law, real estate, professional liability, and construction defects.

The appellate lawyers take great pride in the firm’s reputation for producing the highest quality briefs and for an outstanding record of success.

The appellate lawyers often work with trial counsel at various stages prior to filing an appeal. At all times, before and during appeal, the appellate lawyers strive to complement and enhance the efforts of trial counsel for the common goal of obtaining the best possible result for the client. Recognizing the client’s interests to be paramount, sometimes the best advice will be to seek resolution without appeal or writ petition. However, when appellate review is appropriate, the client can be assured that his or her case is in the best possible hands during the appellate phase of litigation.

The firm’s appellate lawyers are admitted to practice in the United States Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the California Supreme Court, and all districts of the California State Court of Appeal.
