appeals

Reed McClure’s appellate attorneys are recognized as some of the best in the country. We represent clients in both state and federal appellate courts. We frequently handle appeals for clients who were represented by other counsel in the trial court. Reed McClure attorneys have been involved in more than 600 civil appeals, which have generated over 300 published opinions. We have presented argument in the Washington State Supreme Court in over 100 cases. A list of published opinions can be viewed under the Articles section.

We handle appeals at all levels of the Washington appellate courts, in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the United States Supreme Court, and the Alaska, Idaho, and Montana appellate courts. Our experience gives us broad knowledge of the intricacies of appellate practice and procedure.

Members of our appellate team provide the following services:

  • Consultation at every stage of litigation: before litigation, during trial, and after trial
  • Association to assist in appellate matters
  • Complete representation in appeals from the date of judgment to the consequences of the appellate decision

In addition, members of the appellate group are available to make presentations to professional groups and in-house counsel on topics of interest. Please contact Marilee Erickson, Pamela Okano, Michael Rogers, or Jason Vacha for more information.
