Litigation and Appeals

Berger Schatz Attorneys are known for their mastery of courtroom procedure.

Berger Schatz Attorneys are known for their mastery of courtroom procedure, evidence, witness interrogation, and excellence in advocacy.

Trial requires skill and careful preparation. Preparation begins front the moment a case begins, through the discovery process, executing strategic decisions, pretrial practice, mastering the skillful timing and taking depositions, and deploying the efficient, calibrated use of experts and consultants. This systematic and detailed approach to litigation prepares and positions our team for a successful trial.

An appeal requires different skills and strategy than a trial. On appeal, the focus changes from developing through discovery, examining witnesses, and trial – to using facts to make a case that the judge erred at trial or to defend the judge’s decision. In drafting an appellate brief, our team conducts thorough legal research to present the facts and arguments in a persuasive manner.
