Somerset County Appeals Attorneys
Understanding the Appeals Process in New Jersey
Appeals do not rest on new legal evidence. Rather, the appeal gives you another chance to make an argument for a different outcome.
In order to even get to an appeal, it must be shown that your case deserves further consideration for one of the following reasons:
- The original judge did not follow standard legal principles.
- There was insufficient evidence to support the judgment.
- There was a misunderstanding of the facts of the case.
- Other proper legal proceedings were not followed.
Appeals aren’t a matter of filing a motion or the right paperwork. They are a long and strenuous process that can take up to two years.
Don’t go through the appeals process alone. Contact Lane & Lane LLC at (908) 259-6673. We serve Central New Jersey, including Somerset County, Morris County, Union County, Middlesex County, and Essex County.
Why Choose Lane & Lane, LLC for Appeals & Modifications in Family Law
In some divorce and family law matters, the parties are able to agree on a settlement or custody matter without court involvement. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. If disagreements could be solved so easily, it’s unlikely the couple would have to divorce in the first place.
If some aspect of your divorce settlement goes to court and receives a decision you can’t live with, it’s possible to have that decision overturned in an appeal. However, this is a difficult process. In order to have a chance at an appeal, you will need an experienced and articulate Somerset County appeals attorney who can make your case clear to the higher court.
Before filing for an appeal, we recommend discussing your case with one of our Somerset County family law attorneys. We can help you determine whether you have a chance to overturn your judgment in an appeal. Our attorneys are experienced and caring, and we treat each case with the attention it deserves.

“I am a bit overdue with this review. Lane and Lane helped me through what seemed at the time to be one of the hardest points in my life. Mr. Steven Lane and his assistant Dana went above and beyond for me throughout my entire divorce from beginning to end. Mr. Lane was always available when I needed him and always made me feel like a priority. He by far exceeded my expectations and for that, I am truly grateful. At all times it was obvious that my and my children's best interest was what was most important to him and that you can not put a price tag on. Mr. Lane made a promise to me at the beginning of the process which was "we go to the dance together and we leave the dance together" meaning at no point would he leave me to fight this battle alone. As silly as it may sound, that has stuck with me since he said it and that was one of the most comforting things anyone has ever said to me. I highly recommend Lane and Lane LLC. They are a family run business that cares about family and that is hard to find nowadays. Thank you again, Mr. Lane.”- Jessica W.
