Appellate
|
There are times after a case goes to Court when it is found that the Court made a mistake, or the other party is simply unhappy with the result you fought very hard to achieve. When this occurs, the Court’s ruling can be challenged on appeal.
Always up for a good fight, Jim enjoys the detailed intricacies of appellate work and is able to successfully advocate your position to the Court of Appeals. Jim has an intricate understanding of Arizona case law, an extensive appellate writing experience, and appreciates the chance to affect the interpretation of statutes and impact the legal landscape in a positive way. You can review several of his most recent appellate decisions below: |

Jim took over my divorce proceedings after another Central Avenue lawyer had escalated my case well beyond my wishes, angered the judge, and shut down communications with the opposing side. Within days of hiring him, he had re-evaluated my issues, opened communications, and saved me a costly and unnecessary deposition. He was then able to quickly prepare for our temporary orders hearing and presented a respectful and united front to the judge. It made all the difference! Our experience would go on to include court-ordered mediation and an eventual trial. Mr. Schmillen's council proved invaluable. He was able to champion the causes I found most important to me, for the life I wanted going forward, and for the needs of my children. His accounting background assisted me in realistically planning for my present situation and for building a strategy to secure my future needs. He and his staff were always helpful and accessible for questions or guidance, and I always felt my case was their top priority. If you ever go to trial, you will want Jim Schmillen with you.
