Legal representation before the Tennessee Court of Appeals, the Tennessee Supreme Court, a United States Circuit Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court of the United States requires a specific knowledge of processes, as these cases involve legal issues based on a trial or case which has already been decided by a court at the trial level.

At Crone & Mason, plc, we are commonly called upon to handle appeals to these courts due to our vast experience in these areas.

When employed for this purpose, our first action is to familiarize ourselves with the case. This means spending vast amounts of time with the trail record and exhibits. To do our job, we must know the factual record better than the lawyers who tired the case – so we make sure we do. Upon studying the factual and legal records, several issues will likely reveal themselves for appeal. Working with the client and trial council, we then select the best issues to pursue.
