At Bartolucci Law, LLC, we appreciate the gravity of these cases and understand the challenges involved in defending a positive result or reversing an adverse verdict in personal injury appeals. Chicago appellate attorney Elizabeth Bartolucci has broad and varied experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants at the appellate level in personal injury litigation.
Working as co-counsel, in a consultative capacity, or as lead appellate counsel, Liz is an invaluable and trusted asset for any attorney or litigant needing exceptional representation in a state or federal appeal.
The complexities of the legal, medical, or scientific issues at the heart of personal injury cases become even more so at the appellate level. Countless procedural and evidentiary rulings in the trial court and a voluminous and dense record must be viewed through a new lens. How appellate judges approach personal injury cases and the legal issues raised on appeal are manifestly different than how trial judges and juries do.
That is why it is so important to engage an appellate attorney who understands these distinctions as well as the unique and nuanced rules, procedures, and standards of review applicable at the appellate level. Liz brings over two decades of appellate experience to her representation of clients in personal injury appeals, including leading the appellate group at a large Chicago law firm and serving as in-house coverage counsel at a major national insurance company.
Working closely with attorneys and litigants and with meticulous attention to detail, Liz develops an encyclopedic understanding of the trial record, integrating the thoughts and perspectives of the lawyers who led the fight at the trial level. A consummate legal researcher and creative thinker, she can develop arguments and approaches that may elude others and present them in a powerful and persuasive manner. Whether she is crafting exceptional written submissions or advancing her clients’ cause with deft oral advocacy, Liz always provides her clients with unmatched appellate advocacy.
Bartolucci Law also acts as a vital resource to trial counsel before personal injury cases reach the appellate level, serving as an embedded appellate consultant focused on preserving issues on appeal and creating a record that positions litigants for success in the appeals court.
