On Point Appeals

~state, federal & immigration cases~


An appeal is your last chance to convince the judicial system that you deserve to win your case. Winning an appeal requires more than simply repeating the arguments you already stated: you must present your position from the unique appellate perspective. To do that, you need an attorney with expertise in appellate practice.

Zara Watkins, Esq. has worked on winning cases before appellate courts for nearly a decade–and she can handle your civil appeal in the federal and state appellate courts in New York for a flat fee. Fill in the form below to schedule a consultation about your appeal. NOTE: If you have yet to file a Notice of Appeal, get in touch quickly because your time to do so is usually 30 days (from the date of the order or decision) in state and immigration cases and 14 days in federal cases.

Important COVID-19/Coronavirus Note: though many deadlines for filing a notice of appeal have been suspended or extended in state courts, the deadline for filing a federal notice of appeal has not.

Zara Watkins recently wrote a responding brief and orally argued my case before the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals—and she won! I could not be more pleased with her “Cadillac” service, and her personal style.
