About Attorney Bruce R. Bryan's Practice

COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE

The law offices of Bruce R. Bryan are committed to providing clients with the highest quality representation on criminal and civil appeals in state and federal courts - in New York, across the United States, and internationally. Appellate Attorney Bruce R. Bryan and his staff are professional, diligent, and dedicated to their clients. Based on his more than 20 years of experience in exclusively handling appeals, Attorney Bryan formulates winning legal strategies and arguments for his clients in several ways:

In-depth Legal Research Attorney Bryan employs state-of-the-art computer legal research methods to finding the most compelling case law and legal authority for your arguments on appeal. He also has access to major research law libraries and treatises. As an appellate attorney with more than 20 years experience, Attorney Bryan is highly skilled in locating binding and persuasive precedent to help win the appeal.

Think Creatively An appeal is not decided simply by the application of legal precedent to the facts of a case. Appellate judges are also persuaded by sound reasoning, policy concerns, equity, and logic. Appellate Attorney Bruce R. Bryan employs his extensive experience and creative intellect to construct persuasive arguments for your positions on appeal.

Make the Complex Simple An appellate argument is more powerful when it is stated in simple terms. Busy appellate judges are pressed for time and want the attorneys to focus the arguments on what is essential to deciding the appeal. Yet the law is complex and attorneys too often use unnecessary legalese that fails to persuade. Appellate Attorney Bruce R. Bryan strives to express the complex in simple terms and thereby makes your legal arguments more powerful to the court.

Make the Judges Want to Rule for You Years of experience in handling appeals have taught Attorney Bryan the importance of justice in a case. Judges are human and in general do not want to reach an unjust result. In addition to case law and its application to the facts of the appeal, Attorney Bryan looks for ways to express to the appellate court that it is just to rule for his client.

Lead with Strength From the outset in an appeal, Attorney Bryan focuses an appellate court on the strongest reasons for winning for his client. Appellate judges are impressed with the strength of arguments, not their number. Weak arguments can detract from the strong. However, if there is more than one strong argument, he asserts them and thereby multiplies his client's chance of winning the appeal.

Anticipate the Judges' Concerns Appeals are not decided in a vacuum. Your opponent will do their best to make persuasive arguments against your position. Attorney Bryan anticipates their arguments and seeks to find ways to explain or mitigate them, thereby minimizing their impact on the court. Likewise, before oral argument, he seeks to anticipate the judges' questions, and uses the questions as a further opportunity to persuade the judges of the merits of his client's case.

A RECORD OF SUCCESS

Applying these principles, Appellate Attorney Bryan has achieved success in difficult and complex cases. His experience includes representation before high level courts, including the Supreme Court of the United States.
