What Is the Average Cost of An Appeal?

Although there is no such thing as an “average” appeal, never expect to pay less than $10,000 unless there are only a few simple issues. If your case is complex, expect to spend between $15,000 to $30,000.

 The cost of an appeal depends on (at least) four significant factors, including the complexity of your case, the number of legal issues, the facts gathered after reviewing the trial court proceedings, and the attorney’s hourly rate.

 In addition to the attorney’s fees, the appellant bears the cost of filing fees, record preparation, and transcription services, which can become costly, as much as $2,000 per full day of hearings. Consult with an appellate attorney to get a general idea and analysis of your case and the possible cost.

 Why Are Appeals So Costly?

Like a trial, an appeal is expensive because of the volume of work involved. Unlike at trial, however, most of this work involves research and writing. If you want to know what goes into the cost of an appeal, you need to understand how appellate attorneys spend their time.

 Preparing For An Appeal?

Typically, getting the case to the appellate court is a simple process. However,  meeting the deadline is crucial for meeting the jurisdictional deadlines. If you don’t file on time,  you could lose your only chance to appeal your case. Therefore, Contacting an appellate attorney the instant you think you need to appeal a court decision is essential.

Preparing the appeal includes filing the notice of appeal, ordering the record from the trial court, and ordering the transcripts from the court reporting company. For lengthier or more complex cases, you should expect to spend more on fees and costs for preparing the appeal. As noted above, these costs can be substantial.

 Filing Your Appellate Brief

Most of an appellate attorney’s time goes into researching and writing briefs. The primary purpose of an appeal is to convince a higher court that the lower court made an error. The Appellant brief makes (those) arguments to the higher court!

 Writing a brief is a complex and time-intensive process. To be successful, an appellate attorney examines, in detail, the entire lower court record and reads every transcript, searching for possible errors.

 A well-crafted appellate brief should be compelling, logically organized, concise, and straightforward. It should frame the issues, facts, and law in the light most favorable to your case. It should anticipate possible defenses and respectfully confront them. Finally, it should contain an easy-to-follow train of logic leading to a conclusion requiring reversal. Remember, writing an appeal could take days or weeks of work, depending on the case’s complexity.
