Successful State and Federal Appeals Cases Judges and juries can and do make mistakes. In other situations, inconsistencies or gaps in the law may require clarification by a superior court. Knowing on what to base a state or federal appeal, when and where to file the state or federal appeal, what procedures to follow, and what you can realistically expect to achieve from the appeal are all questions that require an experienced attorney to answer. Our experience in both the California state and federal systems gives you the advantage of having a lawyer who knows state and federal procedures inside and out — procedures that can be critical in the appeals process. Federal and Administrative Appeals Federal appeals are not always handled in the federal circuit courts of appeal. For example, an appeal from a district court would normally be made to a circuit court. The EEOC, on the other hand, hears appeals from federal final agency decisions for certain employees. Additionally, appeals from EEOC decisions can normally be made to a federal district court. Other administrative agencies of the federal government have their own appeals procedures. U.S. Supreme Court appeals must be handled using a unique, timely, and complex procedure. The Law Offices of Linda Rose Fessler can help ensure that your appeal is filed with the proper entity.
