Our attorneys have handled some of the most prominent and precedent-setting appeals in both federal and state appellate courts, including before the Second Circuit, the Federal Circuit, the U.S. Supreme Court, the New York Court of Appeals, and the First, Second, Third and Fourth Departments of the Appellate Division of the State of New York.
RCB’s appeals have resulted in numerous important precedents on a wide range of complex legal issues, including, without limitation, separation of powers, free speech, free exercise of religion, taxation, zoning, political firings, federal preemption, absolute and qualified immunity, conflicts of interest, standing, taxpayer suits, contract interpretation and enforcement, and numerous additional complex and constitutional issues arising under the First, Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.
Due to our vast appellate knowledge and experience, we are often retained as special appellate counsel by public and private litigants, and by other attorneys and law firms. We also handle our own appeals in cases we handle at the trial court level, which provides us with additional tools and advantages at both the trial court and appellate court level.
