Nationwide Representation In All U.S. Courts Of Appeals
Maximize Your Chance Of A Successful Appeal
Just Appeals, The Law Office Of Scott M. Davidson, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, represents clients nationwide who are fighting for their futures after being wronged in a criminal or civil trial decision. I founded my law firm with a simple goal: To see that justice is done for every client I represent.
Civil and criminal appellate litigation has been my passion for more than 25 years. During that span of time, I have successfully litigated a wide spectrum of appellate issues in state and federal courts from coast to coast. I served as a judicial law clerk for appellate justices, I taught appellate and post-conviction law and practice at the University of New Mexico School of Law. I led the Appellate Practice Section of the New Mexico State Bar as a past chair and board member. I’ve taught appellate law in seminars in New Mexico and nationally. When you come to my firm for help, you’ll know right away that you’re in experienced and knowledgeable hands.

No Two Appeals Cases Are Exactly The Same
Specific grounds for appeal vary greatly from case to case. I use my experience to carefully test each potential appellate issue, analyzing whether:
- The relief available is suited to your needs
- The facts presented in the lower court provide adequate support on appeal
- The claim of error was properly preserved for appellate review by trial counsel
- The appellate standard of review is favorable to the client’s position
- Current law or a good-faith extension of it supports the appellate issue
- There are equitable or policy reasons to present the issue
You shouldn’t be afraid to appeal if you believe justice has not been served in your situation. You need intimate knowledge of the law on your side, and that’s where my decades of experience become so important. I’ll help you understand your rights, and will fight aggressively for you.
