- What is an Appellate Matter?
We at Wenzel Law understand that there are times when a legitimate claim loses at trial. This is where the appellate stage comes in to provide a forum to illustrate errors that influenced the outcome of the lower proceedings. This is the key: you cannot appeal an order or judgment simply because you do not like it. An error must be appealed, and that error must have affected the outcome of the case.
