Attorney Referrals in Tustin

Are You a Lawyer Considering an Appellate Referral for Your Client?

At John L. Dodd & Associates, Prof. Corp., most of our cases come to us as referrals from other attorneys like you. If you tried your client’s case and they wish to appeal, rest assured that we will treat them well if you send them our way for additional help.

We only focus on appellate matters, so you can rest assured that the attorney-client relationship you worked hard fostered will be respected by our firm. We will not engage your client in matters or provided legal services unrelated to their appeal.

We are also always willing to work with trial counsel during the course of the appeal. Trial counsel remains an important member of a team with a common goal of achieving the best possible result for the client.

Should you feel more comfortable representing your client throughout their appeal, we also provide ghostwriting services for counsel’s appellate briefs should you wish to benefit from our experience in a reduced capacity.
