APPELLATE
Contact Attorney: John F. Kelleher

Attorneys from Higgins, Cavanagh & Cooney have zealously represented our clients before the United States Supreme Court, Supreme Court of Rhode Island and the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit for almost fifty years. Our skill and experience in the area of appellate advocacy is best reflected by the hundreds of cases which we have successfully concluded for our clients. Entire lines of Rhode Island case law have been, and continue to be dominated by opinions written by courts which have been informed by a Higgins, Cavanagh & Cooney advocate, including areas of insurance law, commercial contract interpretation, pretrial procedure and product liability law.

Our Appellate practice group's dedication to excellence begins with the selection of only those with outstanding research and writing skills. The group further ensures its success by getting involved in the case early, informing trial counsel of probable issues and preservation of those issues for review. Finally, the group strives to keep the client involved in this process because we know the best perspective is often in the hands of those who will be directly effected by the law. This three pronged approach guarantees that Higgins, Cavanagh & Cooney advocates will continue to set the standard for results.
