Appellate Attorney Serves Litigants Throughout California

Los Angeles lawyer concentrates in state and federal higher-court review

Appellate courts play a critical role in the legal system, ensuring that the law is properly applied and that trial court errors are corrected. At the Law Office of Paul Kujawsky, I focus exclusively on handling appeals in state and federal higher courts in California. With over 40 years of experience, my practice is dedicated to providing effective appellate services. Depending on whether I represent the appellant or the respondent, I argue to correct trial court errors or defend the trial court’s decision. I am often consulted by attorneys at the trial level, so that I can help spot and preserve issues for appeal. Based in Los Angeles, I represent clients throughout California and the West, handling cases in the California Superior Court Appellate Division, the California Courts of Appeal, the Supreme Court of California, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (covering California, Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and the United States Supreme Court.

Providing dedicated support in a wide range of civil appeals

I bring the following strengths to every appellate case:

• Ability to develop innovative arguments — I craft unique and compelling arguments tailored to the specific facts and legal context of each case.
• Familiarity with applicable laws — With extensive knowledge of state and federal laws, I make sure that every appellate argument I make is well-grounded.
• Fluency in appellate practice. An effective trial attorney does not necessarily have the skills and knowledge needed to be effective in the appellate courts. The wise litigant who must appeal, or oppose an appeal, will engage an attorney who practices exclusively in the appellate court system. 

I take a hands-on approach to all cases and work on a fixed-fee basis to keep my clients’ costs affordable.
