At Hedrick Gardner, our Appellate Practice attorneys bring extensive experience arguing appeals before state and federal courts, as well as administrative forums. Our team includes former clerks from the North Carolina Court of Appeals and Supreme Court, plus seasoned litigators with years of courtroom experience.
We provide honest assessments of your case’s strengths and challenges as it enters the appeals process. Through compelling arguments, exceptional written advocacy, and skilled oral presentation, we deliver persuasive representation that gets results.
Our success extends beyond individual cases; multiple decisions we’ve secured have become established case law, now regularly cited by courts and attorneys in similar matters. This precedent-setting work demonstrates our ability to shape legal doctrine and create lasting value for our clients and the broader legal community.
Strategic Partnership From Day One
We don’t just handle appeals, we help you make decisions throughout your case that protect your appellate options. Our litigation experience allows us to spot potential issues early, develop winning strategies, and guide you through critical decisions about whether to appeal.
When cases go wrong, we can step in to take over. We stay current on relevant legal developments and regularly assess how new decisions might affect your situation. At every stage, we work closely with you to achieve your goals.
Precision in Every Detail
Appellate rules are strict, and we follow them precisely. Our team has deep knowledge of appellate procedures and the experience needed to navigate complex requirements. Through years of practice, we’ve built strong relationships with court personnel and the Industrial Commission, and we maintain an active voice on the North Carolina Appellate Rules Committee.
Our goal is simple: ensuring your case is decided on its merits, not dismissed on a technicality.
