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.

“Dan Lane was great to work with. He was very honest, professional and straight to the point which I appreciated. He was very patient and took the time to explain legal terms that I didn’t quite understand. I felt like he truly cared about my situation and gave me the best advice like he was dealing with a close friend. 100% would recommend anyone using him.”- Jill V.

“Met with Dan on a project. I also had discussions with one of the largest firms in the state and after both meetings, what I recognized is that the larger firms just take cookie-cutter documents and don’t take the time to listen to a client's needs. Dan took the time to educate me on what the project required and how to complete it. He listened and educated, versus the other firm just asking what do you need (note I had no idea where to begin on the document) and then talking at you like a number. I highly recommend Dan.”- David M.
