Fadem & Associates, APC is a Certified Family Law Specialist

Our Law Firm Is Dedicated To Defending Your Rights

When a family court decision profoundly affects your life — custody, visitation, parenting time, divorce property division, spousal support, enforcement of prior orders, or Hague Convention decision — the stakes are high. At Fadem Law, our appellate practice is dedicated to helping clients challenge harmful trial-court rulings and preserve rights through careful, results-focused appeals. We combine decades of years of appellate practice, deep knowledge of family law, and proven courtroom advocacy to protect your interests.

Appeals require precision, legal research, and appellate writing skills distinct from trial work. We bring appellate-focused strategy to each case along with decades of institutional knowledge of family law.

What we do:

  • Appeal preparation and briefing: We research the record, identify reversible errors, and craft persuasive appellate briefs that conform to court rules and decisively present legal and factual issues.

  • Record development and issues preservation: We evaluate whether issues were properly preserved at trial and, when necessary, pursue record augmentation, clerk’s transcripts, or supplemental evidence required for appeal.

  • Appellate motions and emergency relief: We handle emergency filings — stay requests, injunctions, or temporary relief — to protect clients while the appeal proceeds.

  • Oral argument and appellate advocacy: We present concise, persuasive oral advocacy before appellate panels when oral argument is appropriate.

  • Post‑mandate work: We assist with remand proceedings, enforcement of appellate mandates, and any remand matters to secure the relief granted on appeal.

  • Alternative appellate avenues: We advise about petitions for review, writs, or other extraordinary relief when an immediate appeal is not available.

If a family court decision has unduly harmed your rights or your family’s future, contact Fadem Law for a focused appellate review. We’ll evaluate whether an appeal or other appellate remedy is appropriate, outline next steps, and get to work protecting your interests.

The reason I return time and time again is knowledgeable employees and the respect I am treated with. I also think that the noncondensending matter in which I was treated was a prime factor.
