Greines, Martin, Stein & Richland LLP (GMSR) is one of the nation's top civil appellate law firms. The firm's appellate lawyers have extensive experience and success in handling cases in the California Supreme Court, the United States Supreme Court, and in federal and state appellate courts across the country. Because of our knowledge of what happens to cases on appeal, our appellate lawyers can help protect and advise clients while the case is still in the trial court. As soon as it's clear that one side or the other will take a case up on appeal, it's time to bring in appellate counsel to help the trial team position the case as favorably as possible. For nearly 40 years, clients have sought that help from GMSR appellate lawyers.
