Litigation & Counseling

Appeals & Writs

Allen Matkins assists clients in all forms of appeal and writ proceedings, including federal and state courts of appeal, supreme courts, and administrative tribunals.

In addition to handling litigation matters through trial to final judgment, our attorneys are experienced in managing the complete appellate process. This process usually involves the preparation and filing of a detailed record of the underlying trial court action together with extensive written legal argument. In some cases, the process of seeking appellate court review requires the filing of various petitions seeking extraordinary relief.

"They provide high-quality representation with a major concern for cost. They do not surprise us with large bills."

- Vice President and Senior Counsel, International Hotel Chain
