Appellate litigation is an unfamiliar practice area to a majority of lawyers. Attorney Cole D. Ruby is universally known as one of the top appellate attorneys in Wisconsin and serves as a primary source for the state’s legal community in appellate litigation.

Attorney Jeremiah Meyer-O’Day shares a similar history of achievement in appellate representation. He has routinely convinced judges to throw out illegally obtained evidence and has convinced the court of appeals of the unconstitutionality of a particular statute. His attention to detail, familiarity with applicable laws and persuasiveness are skills necessary for effective appellate representation and obtaining successful results for clients.
