Horvitz & Levy LLP is the largest law firm in the nation specializing exclusively in appellate litigation. Since 1957, the company has litigated more than 1,300 appeals in state and federal court, including more than 130 cases before the California Supreme Court. The company's experience in California appeals and Ninth Circuit appeals is simply unp... aralleled. For six decades the company has handled appellate challenges to some of Californias largest verdicts, often either obtaining reversals or major reductions of the amount awarded against the company's clients, or sustaining their hard-fought trial court victories. Clients around the country turn to Horvitz & Levy for its demonstrated expertise in how to win on appeal. The company's services include not only full briefing and oral arguments before the appellate courts, but also consulting on trial strategy, assisting trial counsel in preserving and developing issues for appellate review, preparing post-trial motions in anticipation of appeal, and negotiating favorable settlements pending appeal. Its not only the company's size and long-term record of success that sets the company apart; it's also the high caliber of the company's lawyers, and their specialized training in the field of appellate law. The company's attorneys earned their degrees at the nation's top law schools. Before joining the company, they received outstanding legal training, often at national litigation firms or in government service. More than 70 percent of the company's lawyers started their careers in appellate clerkships. More than half served as law clerks to federal appellate judges or as staff attorneys at federal courts. Others have served as research attorneys to state court appellate justices. This breadth of legal talent means clients dont pay for training new law school graduates, or for their cases to be staffed with large teams of inexperienced associates.Read More
