A court decision can impact your life, business, or freedom—but the journey doesn’t end with the trial court's verdict. At Wicker / Brammell, PLLC, we specialize in appellate law across Kentucky and Indiana. Our team brings the focus, insight, and years of experience needed to overturn or affirm trial outcomes in civil and criminal cases.
Appeals are not second trials; they are strategic, legal reviews of lower court decisions to identify errors that might have impacted the case’s outcome. Common grounds include misinterpreted laws, wrongly admitted or excluded evidence, and procedural issues. Appellate courts assess these issues without new testimony, instead examining records from the trial court.
For example, a trial court might incorrectly interpret a statute, leading to an unjust ruling. In criminal cases, this could mean improper sentencing or evidentiary mistakes, like allowing unreliable witness statements. Our attorneys analyze every aspect of trial records to locate potential errors and develop robust arguments on behalf of our clients.
Our team has represented clients in both state and federal appellate courts, including the Sixth and Seventh Circuits. With decades of appellate experience, we work across a broad spectrum of cases:

You should consider an appeal if you believe that significant legal errors occurred in your trial. These might include misinterpretations of law, exclusion of crucial evidence, or procedural mistakes. We can review your case to determine if appeal grounds exist.
Appeals must be filed within strict deadlines after a final judgment, which vary by jurisdiction and case type. Missing these deadlines may forfeit your right to appeal, so prompt action is critical.
An appeal doesn’t involve new evidence. Instead, appellate courts examine whether errors in legal procedure or application impacted the trial’s result. It’s a precise and analytical process that depends on skillful legal argumentation.
Our team provides in-depth knowledge of appellate procedures, thorough case analysis, and persuasive argumentation. With a long track record in both civil and criminal appeals, we aim to secure the best possible outcomes for our clients.
Success varies based on the strength of the appealable issues and the quality of representation. We offer a focused, experienced approach to every appeal to maximize favorable results.
