Shouldn't My Trial Lawyer Just Continue Handling My Case on Appeal?

No, because we specialize in analyzing and presenting appellate arguments, and your trial counsel probably does not. Your trial counsel may know your case, but he may not know how to present it effectively on appeal.

Parties often presume that their trial counsel knows the case best. Thus, when an appeal is filed against them, or when they decide to appeal an adverse judgment, they simply permit their trial counsel to continue representing them.

This is often a costly mistake, unfortunately, because there are three major differences that distinguish many trial and appellate lawyers—differences that commonly separate winning from losing on appeal.
