Services
With more than two decades of litigating plaintiff's cases in the state and federal courts, Steven A. Hicks consults with other plaintiff's attorneys and helps them win cases in the trial courts and on appeal. He also advocates for changes in the legal system.
Case Consulting
Steve will identify potential problems with your case, help you explore new legal angles, and work with you to develop a strategy to remove possible road-blocks to winning.
Legal Research
Steve provides outcome-determinative research that goes beyond simply locating a few factually similar cases.
He reviews the known facts with fresh eyes to find new, and novel, ways of using established law to craft winning arguments. He will also identify problems with your case and assist you in overcoming potential hurdles to winning.
Legal Briefing
Steve provides solid legal briefing on key issues that are essential to winning a case at trial. He will help you respond effectively both so that your case gets to trial and so you can preserve that win on appeal after the case is tried. Steve can assist with legal briefing at any stage in your case, including on appeal.
Appeals
Briefing a case on appeal is not the same as responding to a motion in the trial court. Steve helps you determine the best approach to winning your case on appeal. Even in cases with favorable rulings in the lower courts, defense attorneys often find new arguments on appeal. Steve helps you draft an appeal brief designed to win your case, even if the judges assigned to hear your case are not favorable.

Services may be provided on an hourly, flat-fee, or contingent basis.
