WHY A NEW LAWYER ON APPEAL?

In the overwhelming majority of cases, the lawyer who handles the trial also handles the appeal. I've done that throughout my career, with great success. But there are

many circumstances where it is a good idea to bring in a new attorney to handle the appeal. I've done that, too. Sometimes a new "set of eyes" may bring a new perspective, may have new ideas, or may be more objective. Sometimes a new lawyer can make arguments in a way that the trial lawyer cannot. It all depends upon the fact and circumstances of a particular case.
