When faced with challenging or complicated matters, the clients of Rolfes Henry can be assured that not only will they receive excellent representation at the trial level, but also that the Firm is well-equipped to direct a case through the appellate process.  This ability reflects the experience and competency of the attorneys handling our property and casualty insurance matters.

Appellate Law

While relatively few cases are appealed, our Firm has a proven track record in cases proceeding to the appellate level. Our attorneys have successfully advanced or defended petitions and appeals in both state courts and federal courts, including the United States Supreme Court.

In fact, Rolfes Henry is often called upon solely for its appellate expertise, and we work closely with trial counsel to ensure that the best-preserved arguments from the underlying case are properly advanced through the eventual appeal.

For example, in 2016 the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, in a unanimous opinion written by Judge Neil M. Gorsuch (later appointed Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court), ruled in favor of our client in a significant co-insurance case, vacating a jury verdict and setting aside a judgment of more than $6,000,000.00.  Our substantial depth and experience in the fields of insurance and appellate practice were crucial to that result.

On behalf of Rolfes Henry, we look forward to employing that experience on your behalf.
