The firm's philosophy is that as a specialist in appellate practice intimately familiar with the operation of the Michigan appellate courts, it is responsible to the client for more than simply writing and arguing a brief on appeal. The service provided also includes tactical and procedural advice, including occasionally inventing a procedure where no appropriate one exists.
Customarily, the firm appears "of counsel" for the client, with the trial attorney formally remaining on the case as lead counsel. Although the firm usually assumes complete control of and responsibility for the appellate litigation of the case, the retention of trial counsel provides continuity to the case and facilitates cooperation between trial and appellate counsel.
As to work product, the firm has an absolute commitment to top quality in every brief and pleading it produces, and will spend whatever time and effort is necessary to achieve that goal.
