Our Experience and Expertise

Hegge & Confusione has earned a reputation as a formidable appellate advocate. We've argued before several courts, including the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and the Supreme Court of New Jersey. We've also prepared and filed Petitions for Writs of Certiorari with the United States Supreme Court.

Our briefs are persuasive because they're clear and direct—suited for busy appellate judges. We frame the questions that the court must decide up-front in our briefs, greatly easing the court's burden in deciding the case. This encourages appellate judges to adopt our construction of the case—a construction that creates winning appellate arguments and leads to rulings for our clients.

We tailor these arguments for each of our clients by:

• Discussing your case with you and listening to your concerns;
• Analyzing the proceedings below, identifying possible errors, and focusing on those most likely to obtain reversal or affirmance;
• Preparing an outline or draft argument for your review and comment;
• Analyzing and opposing the likely counterarguments—a key to effective advocacy;
• Presenting oral argument highlighting the reasons you should prevail; and
• Discussing the decision with you, what happens next, and whether there are grounds for further appeal by you or your opponent.

We invite you to contact us to learn more about how we can help you. You should contact us as early as possible in your litigation. We can even assist you or your trial counsel with important motions or briefs in the lower court, ensuring that error is preserved properly for appeal.
