Appellate Litigation

Appellate litigation is one of the most diverse areas in legal practice, covering all kinds of appeals and post-judgment litigation, including:

• Personal Injury
• Medical Malpractice
• Intellectual Property
• Product Liability
• Commercial Contracts
• Construction
• Employment and Family Law

Our appellate group has successfully handled hundreds of state or federal appeals in both state and federal courts at all appellate levels, including the Michigan Supreme Court, the Michigan Tax Tribunal, the Michigan Court of Appeals, and many federal appeals courts. Dickinson Wright prides itself on being the “go to” law firm when high profile, difficult issues are involved. Some attorneys in this practice area have been recognized by Super Lawyers, and some of our successfully argued appeals cases include

• Ross v Blue Care Network of Michigan, affirming the Michigan Insurance Commissioner’s decision to uphold Blue Care Network of Michigan’s denial of coverage for non-authorized medical services.
• In re Complaint of Rovas Against SBC Michigan, overturning a fine imposed against SBC Michigan by the Michigan Public Service Commission
• In re Certified Question From the Fourteenth District Court of Appeals of Texas (Miller v Ford Motor Co), finding no duty owed under Michigan law to protect against “take home” asbestos exposure
