Appellate Practice

One of the first law firms in New Jersey to establish a dedicated appellate practice group, Archer has enjoyed a long history of excellence in appellate advocacy.

Archer’s Appellate  Group, enabled by prior service in the Appellate Division, Circuit Court or Supreme Court clerkships, skillfully handles a wide range of substantive legal issues, regularly appearing before state intermediary appellate courts, the Supreme Courts of New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, most federal circuit courts, and the United States Supreme Court. The Honorable Marie E. Lihotz (retired) joined the team after serving as a Presiding Judge in New Jersey’s Appellate Division, honing persuasive presentations. Archer’s Appellate  Group successfully advocates for clients, with many precedent setting results.

Building on this experience, our attorneys have earned a reputation as exceptionally skilled advocates who are able to quickly master complex factual and legal matters, to identify critical issues, to evaluate the merits efficiently, and to reduce and communicate complicated problems simply, practically, and persuasively to advance the goals of our clients.

Members of the Appellate Practice are a valuable resource to new and existing clients, as well as lawyers from other firms. The firm’s retired judges and seasoned appellate attorneys also work with other firms to consult on appellate matters and for preparation of oral argument.
