Of all our Presidents, John Tyler had the most children--seven by his first wife, seven by his second, for a grand total of fourteen. No wonder pudding was a popular dessert at the Tyler table. This modified pudding-in-piecrust was a particular favorite of the family.
On average, a good appellate attorney will charge between $300 and $500 for a consultation. The time will be unlimited and the advice will be impartial. If the appellate attorney encourages you to appeal, ask him for specific reasons why.
Based on my hourly rate and the typical time involved, an average appeal can cost $20,000 to $50,000. Short, single-issue appeals may be lower. Complex appeals, including those involving voluminous records, can be higher as would be an appeal that finds its way to the Supreme Court. A client is also obligated to pay costs, including a filing fee, costs of obtaining the clerkâs and reporterâs transcripts, and printing costs. These costs can range $1,000-10,000.
