Appeals

Home Family Law ServicesAppeals
  • 717-525-7711
  • Schedule Appointment

The litigation process can be long and complex. Following an unexpected or disappointing result there are opportunities to appeal the decision. At the initial levels of decision making these appeals are usually heard by the trial court, as a majority of family matters are first heard by a master or conference officer. Many attorneys handle these initial appeals on a regular basis.

Appeals from decisions of the trial court are heard by the Pennsylvania Superior Court. Not every matter is appropriate for an appeal, regardless of the level of discontent a client may have with the lower court’s decision. For those matters that are appropriate for appeal, the procedural rules must be carefully followed. Appellate practice is complex and some attorneys refer their superior court appellate work to outside counsel.

Levin Hoover’s Smart Approach

Levin Hoover can help provide an assessment of family law matters being considered for appeal. We can offer a second opinion as to the appropriateness of taking an issue before the Superior Court. This requires a complete review of the matters giving rise to the appeal. There are strict deadlines during which an appeal must be raised and it is imperative that anyone considering our services for a second opinion provide us with sufficient time to review the underlying record. In most cases an appeal must be filed within 30 days of the decision entered by the lower court.

Representation for appeal aspects of matter: For those matters in which an appeal has already been filed, we can enter our appearance to prepare the briefs and reproduce records that are required for any appeal to have a chance of success. We can also appear before the appellate courts for oral argument before the panel of judges assigned to hear your matter. It is important that the rules of appellate practice are followed, as failure to do so can result in dismissal of your appeal.
