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 definitely would recommend this law office to anyone who is dealing with the stress of divorce.
    “Eric was recommended to me in 2013 when I was going through a very difficult divorce and custody fight. He’s been with me every step of the way. It’s been a long journey and he’s been supportive and has continued to fight for me. He’s made a very difficult process a bit less stressful and easier. Always willing to talk to me about my concerns. I can’t say enough about him. He’s been amazing. I definitely would recommend this law office to anyone who is dealing with the stress of divorce.”

    I would highly recommend anyone considering a divorce attorney to sit with Eric and get his opinion.
    “If you find yourself reading these reviews, you are clearly going through a tough time or helping someone who is. Going through a divorce can be devastating and it's far from easy. Eric Lane represented me for a number of issues over the course of over 18 months. His experience, demeanor, and thoughtful approach significantly helped make the best of an unfortunately difficult process. My short advice here is the process is what you make of it and Eric is a fantastic support to get you through it. Eric was responsive, fair, and transparent in all aspects. He took the time to understand what I wanted, and what my concerns were. I never felt rushed and always felt like he was fully vested in having a positive outcome. His advice was thoughtful, realistic, and I always felt like we had a game plan - which prepared me for what to expect each step of the way. I'm sure he has multiple clients at any given time, but with everything on his plate, I always felt like a priority. I would highly recommend anyone considering a divorce attorney to sit with Eric and get his opinion.”

    Dan always responds promptly and I highly recommend him and his staff.
    “Dan and his staff did a great job handling my divorce. Due to COVID, my previous attorney bailed on me and Dan was able to take over my case and bring it to closure. He was very professional and supportive throughout the entire process. Dan always responds promptly and I highly recommend him and his staff.”

    He was very professional, easy to deal with and sensitive to the procedure.
    “Daniel Lane helped me execute my divorce after an independent mediation. He was very professional, easy to deal with and sensitive to the procedure. That was the most unexpected and pleasantly surprising part of our relationship during the process. During his consultations, he dealt with me as a person first and foremost, not just a client on a retainer. I highly recommend him and his practice.”
