Not every case ends at judgment. Whether you are looking to overturn an unjust result or preserve a victory, our appellate lawyers understand how to marshal the collective experience and resources of our entire firm to protect your rights and interests on appeal. Our lawyers work tirelessly on their cases in order to give our clients the best representation possible.

In addition to appearing at all levels of Minnesota state and federal courts, many of our appellate attorneys have briefed and argued cases in a number of federal courts and neighboring states, including Wisconsin, North Dakota and Iowa.

Our appeals and trial attorneys handle appellate matters across the legal landscape, including business, construction, real estate, employment, intellectual property, community associations, and probate.

LEGAL WRITING

Here at Hellmuth & Johnson, we agree with Nathaniel Hawthorne: “Easy reading is damn hard writing.” We also understand, with Ronald Dahl, that [g]ood writing is essentially rewriting.” Legal writing is no different. Whether internally, for lawyer clients who retain us for their legal-writing needs, or as service to the courts and the broader legal community, we strive to further the goal of all effective communication: make the complex easy to understand, without sacrificing substance — and with style.
