San Francisco Family Law Appeals Attorneys

At Moradi Saslaw, our family law appeals attorneys will review your family law matter to ensure you have grounds for an appeal and are within the legal timeframe to do so. If you qualify for an appeal, we will follow any necessary court rules and procedures to move your case to an appeals court.

When appraising your case, Moradi Saslaw’s attorneys will:

•  Look for any legal errors made by the judge in your case;

• Determine if that legal error affected the outcome of your case; and

• If so, pursue a reversal of that decision through the appeals process.

There are alternatives to family law appeals. As an appeals court will only review a family law case for a legal mistake, they will not reverse a case for any other issues such as new evidence, facts, circumstances, or misconduct.

A better choice may be one of the following:

•  Filing a motion to set aside or vacate the judgment;
• Filing a motion for reconsideration of the order;
• Filing a motion for a new trial; or
• Applying for a renewal.

These actions are also time-sensitive. Therefore, it is essential to speak with an attorney as quickly as possible if you are concerned about your family law trial.

We are a full-service family law firm with experience litigating and negotiating complex divorces and domestic partnership dissolutions in California since 2009.

• We’re well-versed in custody matters: Our strategies are all about your children’s best interests, including helping you and your partner become successful co-parents when possible.
• When we say team, we mean it: We review client cases at weekly roundtable strategy sessions; this ensures that our clients receive the best possible solutions for their complex situations.
• We are straightforward with our clients: We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Our attorneys answer your questions before, throughout and even after the journey of your case.

Whether it’s a simple asset division, a basic custody agreement, or more intricate matters like dividing stock options, limited partnership interests, or a contested custody dispute, we develop creative strategies to meet every goal. Our premier divorce lawyers have a strong record of courtroom success and negotiated settlements.
