Attorney Charles Marshall: When to appeal and not appeal a lawsuit.

California attorney Charles Marshall will discuss when you should appeal, and when you should not appeal.

An appeal can be an opportunity to obtain justice when it was earlier denied. However, an appeal may not always make sense even if you believe that the trial court was in error. The first step in the appeals process is to decide what you hope to get out of it and whether the benefits justify possible drawbacks.

A successful appeal may not end your legal battle
Some successful appeals do provide the complete and final resolution of a dispute. However, this is by no means always the case.

Many successful appeals result in the case being sent back for further proceedings in the trial court. This could result in a completely new trial. Although the Court of Appeal’s decision might result in that trial being conducted on ground rules more favorable than the first, there is no certainty that the bottom-line outcome will be any better. In fact, it could be even worse.  Listen to this episode to learn more.
