“Most appeals are won or lost in the trial court...things can be broken in the trial court that cannot be fixed on appeal.”
Show Notes
Today we’re excited to welcome Chad Ruback to the Texas Family Law Insiders podcast.
Before opening his own appellate law firm in 2005, Chad practiced appellate law at a medium-sized law firm and at a large law firm. Now he works on appeals of trial court judgments in every type of case imaginable. He attributes his success to the fact that he has limited his practice to handling appeals and trial court motions likely to be at issue on appeal.
Chad says, “Most appeals are won or lost in the trial court...things can be broken in the trial court that cannot be fixed on appeal.” Today we are talking to him about when to seek input from an appellate lawyer in your family law case, as well as:
- The one mistake family law attorneys make in preparing for an appeal
- The key to fixing findings of fact prior to an appeal
- Preserving the record: temporary hearings vs final judgements
- And much more
