Firm Qualifications

The attorneys in Franklin & Prokopik’s Appellate Advocacy practice are all experienced trial counsel and often asked to assist trial counsel in review of appellate issues before, during and after the trial. They are often able to make the record “speak” to the issues and concerns of the particular appellate tribunal, which are frequently based on matters of public policy and are often quite distinct and different from those important to a trial judge and jury.
