 Las Vegas Appeals Lawyer

An appeal is a review by a higher court of a lower court to determine if the lower court made a legal mistake. An appeal is not a new trial or a chance to introduce new evidence. The court will review the evidence, documents, audio recordings and appeal briefs from the hearing in the lower court to make a decision whether a mistake was made or evidence was withheld.

Family Court Appeals may involve appealing the Court's decision on:
Alimony
Child custody
Child support
Division of assets in divorce
Injunctions
