California Appellate Attorneys
At the Law Offices of Zilinskas & Woosley, we are experienced and knowledgeable appellate law and litigation attorneys. We represent clients throughout California, including the surrounding areas of Los Angeles, Ventura, and the entire San Francisco Bay area.
Appellate law has always represented a significant practice area for the Law Offices of Zilinskas & Woosley. Our successful and dedicated attorneys handle appeals of all types from simple to complex.
Most recently, the Law Offices of Zilinskas & Woosley challenged the applicability of the California Standards for Neutral Arbitrators in arbitrations conducted by the National Association of Securities Dealers and the New York Stock Exchange. Siding with the Law Offices of Zilinskas & Woosley as Amicus was the California Attorney General’s Office, the California Judicial Counsel, and the California Employment Lawyers Association. The Securities & Exchange Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, and the New York Stock Exchange were on the opposing side.
The case is Jevne vs. JB Oxford and is a not only a high profile case, but a case which has the potential of substantially increasing the level of investor protection in securities arbitrations. Our successful Petition for Review (PDF) was instrumental in securing review in this case.
Another landmark California Supreme Court case handled by the Law Offices of Zilinskas & Woosley was Erlich vs. Menezes (1999) 21 Cal.4th 543 (PDF), which dealt with the availability of emotional distress damages in construction defect cases. While ultimately not successful, this case represents an excellent example of the lengths the Law Offices of Zilinskas & Woosley will travel to assist our clients.
Finally, a very unusual case and appeal that we handled was an insurance bad faith case in which our client sought coverage and damages from her insurance carrier based on a withdrawal of defense argument. The case was Kafader v. USAA (2002) 2002 WL 31648799, and our successful Opening Brief (PDF) and Reply Brief (PDF) was essential in winning this case.
At the Law Offices of Zilinskas & Woosley, we skillfully and vigorously represent appellate clients throughout California.
We will gladly provide additional appellate case examples upon request. If you need appellate counsel, contact us for a confidential, no obligation analysis of your potential claim.
