Cannon & Dunphy, S.C. has won more $10 million and higher awards than any other personal injury law firm in Wisconsin.

Appellate practice is the resolution of disputes between parties on appeal.  There are three levels of courts in Wisconsin at both the state and the federal level—the circuit courts, the court of appeals and the supreme court.  A party who has received an adverse ruling from the circuit court may appeal the ruling to the court of appeals within a certain period of time.  An appeal to the court of appeals is a matter of right, while review by the supreme court is only granted in certain cases.  The standard of review that the appellate court judges apply is different depending on whether the matter decided by the circuit court was a finding of fact, an issue of law or required the judge to make a discretionary determination. 

Cases at the appellate level are resolved on written arguments by the parties called briefs, and in certain cases, with oral argument before the appellate court.  Cannon & Dunphy, S.C. has been involved in numerous appeals involving issues of first impression that have made new law in Wisconsin on behalf of injured individuals and their families.
