Appellate Law

Appellate law is based on the principle of judicial review, which allows a higher court to review the decision of a lower court. The purpose of appellate review is to ensure that the lower court has correctly interpreted and applied the law.

An appellate law attorney provides legal representation to clients who have been involved in a trial and now wish to appeal the decision. This type of lawyer is often used by people who feel that they have been wronged by the trial outcome and believe that they can improve their chances of success by appealing to a higher court.

In some cases, an appellate law attorney may also be hired by the winning party in a trial in order to help them defend their victory on appeal. If you have been involved in a lower court case and feel the judge or jury reached a verdict incorrectly, it is important to contact an expert appellate counsel to review your case.

Having successfully advanced or defended petitions and appeals in both state and federal courts, Rolfes Henry is often called upon for its appellate expertise.

Condominium / Homeowner Association Law

A condominium, often called a condo, is a type of real estate divided into units that are each separately owned, with common areas jointly owned.

A homeowner association (HOA) is an organization in a planned community or condominium complex that makes and enforces rules for the properties within its jurisdiction.

Many HOAs are well-run and provide a valuable service to their residents. However, some can be dysfunctional and infringe on the rights of homeowners. If you live in a condominium or HOA that is not meeting your needs, you may need a condominium or HOA attorney.

There are a few signs that a homeowner may need to hire a condominium or HOA attorney:

1. You’ve been fined for a rule violation that you don’t think is fair.
2. Your HOA is not maintaining the common areas or addressing repair issues in a timely manner.
3. You’ve been harassed by a neighbor or HOA board member.
4. You’ve been unfairly denied a request to make a change to your unit.
5. You want to start a recall of your HOA board.

If you’re considering hiring a condominium or HOA attorney, be sure to choose someone who is experienced in handling these types of cases and who you feel comfortable working with.

Criminal Defense

In the United States, anyone accused of a crime has the right to an attorney. A criminal defense attorney specializes in the defense of individuals and companies charged with criminal activity.

• Plea bargaining – Negotiating with the prosecutor to try to reach a deal in which the defendant pleads guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a lighter sentence.
• Expungement – A process by which a criminal record can be sealed or destroyed.

For instance, if a child is having difficulty in school, an attorney can help the parents work with the school to find a solution. An attorney can also help parents who believe their child has been the victim of discrimination, bullying, or unfair treatment.

Students may also need to hire an education law attorney if they are facing disciplinary action from their school. An attorney can help the student understand their rights and options, and can represent the student in a hearing if necessary.
