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 can't say enough about Dan and the Lane & Lane firm. Dan was my 3rd attorney during my divorce/visitation process, which for a man in NJ can be very expensive and overwhelming. Dan carefully listened to all of my concerns and goals throughout this process and explained everything that was required to meet my goals. Dan is always available whenever I call him for any questions or concerns. My most important goal was seeing my 8-year-old daughter on a regular basis and building a healthy father-daughter relationship. That goal turned into reality and now I see my daughter all the time! At the end of the day, Dan cares about the human factor and in my case being able to be in my daughter's life. Dan is great in court and defending your rights as a father. I would recommend Dan and the Lane & Lane firm to anyone looking to get divorced in the state of NJ they are top-notch.”- Kyle T.
