In the high-stakes environment of trials, having a skilled trial attorney is essential to achieving the best possible outcome.  Trial attorneys bring invaluable expertise to every phase of litigation, from formulating case strategies and suppressing damaging evidence to delivering persuasive arguments before a jury.  Especially when facing a complex commercial dispute, a well-versed trial lawyer understands the nuances of the courtroom and is prepared to advocate vigorously on your behalf.  From jury selection to closing arguments, an experienced attorney ensures your story is presented effectively and fairly.

A good trial attorney knows that trials are won in the details—crafting compelling opening statements, navigating intricate cross-examinations, and ensuring that jury instructions are tailored to your advantage.  Effective trial representation is not only about legal knowledge but also about strategic thinking and timing, such as when to suppress prejudicial evidence or challenge witness credibility.  Whether negotiating favorable jury instructions or highlighting inconsistencies through cross-examination, the right trial attorney will be your advocate, ensuring your rights are protected and your case is presented with the utmost precision.

The procedures were overlooked.  The judge applied the wrong standard.  The law was overlooked.  Elements were not satisfied.  The jury instructions were inept.  The damages were grossly excessive.  The verdict was erroneous.  Sometimes, an appeal may be your only chance at getting justice.

We achieve favorable results at the appellate level by assisting clients in both affirming and reversing lower court rulings in both federal and state courts.

Appeals often involve novel or high-stakes legal questions — issues that can’t be resolved through settlement.  Sometimes, even, we get to create law or change the law and create a more just society.  Clients turn to Labkowski Law for strategic thinking, persuasive briefs, meticulous drafting, and forceful oral advocacy.  Regardless of subject area, we embrace the challenge of extracting intricate cases to their linchpin and present them in clear, thorough briefs and persuasive oral arguments.  Whether we are defending a client’s favorable decision or working to overturn an unjust loss, we bring a fresh perspective to cases and insight into what moves judges.

We also collaborate with co-counsel at other firms who first tried the case.  At the trial level, we leverage our appellate experience to counsel clients on key strategic issues and to brief and argue dispositive motions with an eye towards preserving rights and issues on appeal.

In litigation, every detail, nuance and argument are critical.  It is imperative that you have attorneys on your team who are excellent at spotting issues, researching, and, just as importantly, great writers.  Judges read dozens of briefs or memorandums of law each week.  It is critical that briefs are clear, drafted well, and advocate your position.  Very often, critical and integral parts of cases are decided on the briefs without a hearing or oral arguments.  That is why, masterful brief writing is all but critical in litigation.  At Labkowski Law, draft briefs on emerging issues of law, at both the federal and state level, and at the trial and appellate level.  We often partner with co-counsel and assist them in drafting briefs, providing insight and the like.  We remain ready to help clients and firms in zealous advocacy through excellent written briefs.

In litigation, precision is everything.  Every issue, argument, fact, detail, or case citation has the potential to sway a case, which is why having attorneys skilled in both legal analysis and writing is crucial.  Judges review countless briefs every week—clear, compelling, and strategically written briefs make the difference.  Many cases or integral parts of litigation are decided based solely on the strength of written submissions, without hearings or oral arguments.
