Appellate
RSHC’s appellate practice runs the gamut from appeals following final judgment, to interlocutory appeals of class certification rulings or decisions on controlling questions of law, to certification of questions to state supreme courts and writs of mandamus. We have experience in forums across the country, both in cases where we represented a party in the lower court and in cases where we were brought in as appellate counsel.
