Family Law Appeals
If a court has issued a ruling that you believe to be erroneous, unfair, or otherwise impartial, you may be able to appeal this decision. This gives individuals recourse to correct for mistakes that may have either not been considered or other factors that could have improperly influenced the ruling to go one way or another.
If you wish to appeal your case, you have a limited amount of time to do so, so it’s important to work with a skilled attorney who can help with appellate matters to start developing your brief as soon as possible. This brief must carefully outline the reason you are choosing to appeal the previous decision, including detailing why you believe the previous decision was incorrect. It’s important to note that appeals cannot consider any new evidence or additional information that was not brought up in the initial trial. Once both parties have submitted their briefs, a panel of appellate judges hear arguments from both sides and then determine whether or not to allow for the appeal to stand.
At Siegel, Colin, & Kaufman, we can assist with appellate matters, including helping you petition for an appeal in the event of an erroneous decision. Talk to our team today to learn more about your options.

"I highly recommend Tom as a partner and advisor"After my wife and I separated after 30 years of marriage, I started a search for a divorce attorney to talk things through with me and to advise me on my options. After a wonderful life together, I wanted to have an amicable divorce but I knew the path to this outcome would be difficult to achieve. I was not looking for a “take no prisoners” divorce attorney — there are so many out there. I knew from the moment I met him that Tom Colin was the kind of calm, measured, confidence inspiring and practical advisor I was seeking to keep our process calm and professional. Tom is a good listener and a kind and decent man. As a former family court judge and professional mediator, Tom can clearly see both sides of the coin. Most importantly, Tom has the innate sense and timing to be able to advise his clients to do what’s in their long term best interest — not feed to their emotions. Tom helped me see the bigger picture and avoid the pettiness anyone can be susceptible to in this difficult process. I highly recommend Tom as a partner and advisor to help navigate this unfortunate life challenge.- Stephen L.

"I would highly recommend Fred and his team without hesitation."Fred Siegel is an excellent, smart lawyer who is invested in a good outcome for his clients, vs simply raking up legal bills. He not only provides sound strategy, but is also able to sort through the emotional mess that often comes along with divorce with kindness and understanding. All that while maintaining sharp focus on the best desired outcome for his client. I also worked extensively with his colleague Vicki Law, who was buttoned up and effective, and was instrumental in successfully navigating a lot of inflammatory and unreasonable proposals from my ex and his attorney. She was sensitive, smart, and razor focused. I would highly recommend Fred and his team without hesitation.- Nicole B.

"I would give 500 stars to Fred if I could."Fred Siegel is truly exceptional. His guidance in my divorce was invaluable. He took the time that was needed for me to fully understand the intricacies of my case and he helped me feel empowered to do what was best for me and my son. I would give 500 stars to Fred if I could. He is the best in the business.- Niki M.

"They were great people to be associated with during a tense and unpleasant time."
When I went through my divorce, I worked with Siegel, Reilly & Kaufman. They were great people to be associated with during a tense and unpleasant time. The entire process was done in six months from filing; I attribute this to the professionalism, integrity, and realism brought to the situation by Fred Siegel and his partners. And I believe my ex received what she needed, or we never would have completed the process so seamlessly - or humanely. Forget the movies you've seen about divorce lawyers; these are excellent, stand-up guys who helped me achieve a positive outcome. I highly recommend SR&K
