Childers Hanlon & Hudson

Civil appeals in Arizona require specialized expertise beyond trial court litigation.

While most civil lawsuits are resolved in trial courts, a select number proceed to

Arizona appellate courts or federal appellate courts. At Childers Hanlon & Hudson

PLC, our experienced appellate attorneys in Arizona handle every stage of the

appeals process, ensuring comprehensive representation from start to finish. We also

assist other law firms with appeals support and brief writing.

Appellate practice relies heavily on persuasive written briefs and petitions. Our team

excels at presenting complex legal issues and facts in a clear, compelling manner to

maximize your chances of success. Effective legal writing for appeals is a craft that

demands precision, readability, and strategic argumentation. We avoid unnecessary

legal jargon and focus on creating concise, engaging briefs that capture the court’s

attention.

Our proven track record includes successful outcomes in Arizona Court of Appeals

and federal appellate cases, such as:

- Wickham v. Hopkins (premises liability case limiting homeowner liability)

- Desert Golf Cars v. Yamaha Motor Co. (secured reversal of trial court ruling on

defense and indemnity)

- Spirlong v. Browne (successful appeal on strict liability dog bite claim)
