In Colorado, each case may be appealed only once, usually to the Colorado Court of Appeals but sometimes to a District Court Judge or directly to the Colorado Supreme Court. If you decide to appeal a lower court's ruling or seek review of a Magistrate's decision, Kaplan Law L.L.C. has the knowledge and experience needed to represent you in the appellate court. Not all lawyers who do appeals also are experienced in the areas of law involved. It often helps to know both the appellate procedures as well as the actual process you went through, including divorce, civil litigation, or personal injury.
For various reasons, only about 20% of cases get reversed on appeal. Appellate courts do not re-try cases, and they are usually limited to the evidence presented at the original hearing. Most reversals occur when there are incorrect rulings, erroneous admissions of evidence, incorrect interpretations of the law or improper jury instructions, or insufficient evidence to support the verdict. However, the odds against reversal mean that the initial presentation is critical and that the record created in the trial court can make or break the appeal. Then, when upon appeal, the key is to focus on those issues and legal precedents which likely will sway the appellate judges to rule in your favor. Making a persuasive argument and being able to identify the key issues is an art. This is one reason why so few lawyers are successful on appeal.
