New York Motions Practice and Civil Trial Strategy
Most experienced trial lawyers eventually encounter a case that presents special challenges of complexity, novelty, or scale. It's easy to lose the forest for the trees under the demands of civil litigation, especially in an unfamiliar forum or practice area. Contact the Law Offices of Annette G. Hasapidis in South Salem for the experienced trial support that can make the critical difference between victory and defeat in your challenging civil trial, whether you're the plaintiff or defendant.
Her experience and familiarity with the rules of civil trial practice in both the New York State and federal courts can help you prevail on pretrial motions involving jurisdiction, removal, preemption, discovery, or the qualification of expert witnesses. She can assist you as the moving party or opposing party on a summary judgment motion or a challenge to the sufficiency of the complaint. Her advice and collaboration can also be invaluable in administrative proceedings under either New York State or federal regulatory systems.
Experienced civil trial support can not only make the decisive difference in your motions practice, it can also help strengthen your position on appeal through management of the record, definition of the issues in terms favorable to your client, and constant reassessment of the settlement value of your case based on the expense and risk of further proceedings. In high stakes litigation where the losing party can be expected to appeal the decision below, it's never too early to consider the options and tactics that will win before an appellate tribunal.
With more than 170 appeals to her credit, New York civil litigator Annette Hasapidis is well aware of the impact of trial counsel’s tactical decisions on the viability of an appeal. Mistakes and oversights before or during trial can be fatal, while careful use of procedural tools can protect important appellate issues that might otherwise be waived.
