Appeals

The attorneys at McDaniel Wolff, PLLC understand that a trial court’s decision is not always the final word. If you believe a court made a mistake in law or procedure, you may have the ability to appeal and have the decision reversed.

Our appellate attorneys help clients challenge adverse rulings and defend favorable outcomes in both state and federal appellate courts. From the Arkansas Court of Appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court, our team brings decades of legal experience to complex appeals involving commercial litigation, real estate disputes, estate and trust administration, tax matters, and regulatory actions.
