Appellate Advocacy Attorneys

Overview

We are experienced appellate attorneys, crafting logical, persuasive and, often, winning arguments.

Our appellate team handles appeals in Ohio, federal courts, and administrative agencies. Bricker Graydon attorneys have briefed and presented oral arguments in hundreds of appellate matters, including high-profile and high-stakes appeals and writ actions, often representing national and state organizations as amici curiae.
