Appellate

Johnson, Ayers & Matthews handles a wide range of civil matters in the appellate courts. Our attorneys regularly practice before the state and federal appellate courts throughout Virginia, and we have represented clients in the United States Supreme Court.

We handle appeals arising from all areas of the firm’s practice, including:

• tort
• contract
• consumer
• commercial
• insurance
• railroad
• product liability
• eminent domain
• title insurance
• real estate
• landlord-tenant
• property management
• will contests
• workers' compensation cases

Other attorneys who wish to challenge or defend a final decision of a trial court often solicit our assistance on appeal, even though this firm was not involved at trial. In these situations, firm attorneys either provide advice and guidance without appearing of record on the appeal or serve as appellate co-counsel, whichever is desired. Also, we have filed amicus curiae briefs for non-parties having a vital interest in particular appellate cases.
