New York Appeals Lawyers
How Employment Appeals Work in New York
In a traditional trial, the plaintiff’s and defendant’s legal teams work to convince a judge to rule in their favor based on the offense being alleged, the laws involved, and the available testimony and evidence. In employment law cases, it is possible that the court could rule against a wronged employee for several reasons, including a perceived lack of compelling evidence.
In an appeal, your legal team will instead attempt to convince the appellate court that a mistake was made in the lower court. As a result, the lower court’s decision must be reversed. This is accomplished through reviewing the decisions that were made in the trial and whether any were done in error. The defense will provide a brief explaining why they believed the decision was correct and just, while your legal team will prepare a brief arguing why the ruling was improper and must be overturned.
Our New York appeals attorneys can assist you with appeals in cases involving:
- FMLA claims
- Hostile work environments
- Reasonable accommodation disputes
- Wage and hour disputes
- Whistleblower retaliation
- Workplace discrimination
- Workplace sexual harassment
- Wrongful termination
We understand that challenging your employer or former employer is frightening in the first place, and losing an initial court battle can be extremely dispiriting. Our team is committed to helping you explore every possible legal option, including appeals.
Successfully navigating an appeal requires having an exhaustive understanding of the relevant laws. Many effective appeals are built on citing precedent and case law.
