State & Federal Appellate Attorneys

"If no appeal were possible . . . this would not be a desirable country to live in." So said the famous British judge Charles Bowen. What he said of his country, we can also say of our own. The fairness of trials fundamentally depends on the right to appeal to a higher court for further review.

At the Law Office of B. Tyler Brooks, PLLC, we bring extensive experience in the field of appellate advocacy, having being involved in appeals in state and federal courts across the country. Attorney Tyler Brooks also serves on the Appellate Rules Committee of the North Carolina Bar Association, and he previously served in the leadership of the NCBA's Appellate Practice Section. He has written and taught on the subject of appellate advocacy and is often asked for assistance by trial counsel, either to handle an appeal or to help prepare a case for a possible appeal through such steps as drafting critical motions.
