The firm is the three of us

Sekou Diarra
Associate
Works with trial lawyers before and after the verdict, and writes the record section of every brief.
Staffing
Who works on your appeal
Every appeal has one responsible lawyer, named in the engagement letter. A second lawyer reads every brief before it is filed, because a fresh reader finds the sentence that only makes sense to its author.
We take on fewer appeals than we are asked to. A brief written in the last week before it is due reads like one, and we would rather decline a matter than file that kind of brief.
Ask which of us fits your case
Send a short note with the court, the case number and the date of the judgment. We will say who would handle it, or who else to call.
