level of assistance that you need,
from handling the entire appeal to
merely providing advice on

FEES: My base hourly rate is $150;
however, I prefer to work on a flat fee
or contingency basis whenever
possible. The ultimate cost will
depend on the work required and the
nature of the case. In order to handle
an entire appeal, my fee will normally
range from $4000 to $10,000. Smaller
tasks, like reviewing and editing briefs,
would result in smaller fees.

| Appellate News/Updates/Info: The Supreme Court has proposed several rule amendments designed to implement McFadden v. Cleveland State Univ., 120 Ohio St.3d 54, 896 N.E.2d 672, 2008-Ohio-4914, where the Court held that it was constitutional for the districts to hold en banc proceedings. The amendments create a process for requesting en banc review that is similar to an application for reconsideration. Notably, the amendments also adjust the trigger for filing a petition for review with the Supreme Court so that the time to file does not begin to run until after the appeals court has considered the motion for reconsideration or rehearing en banc. This is accomplished by amending Rule 22 to provide that the decision will not be journalized until after the time to request reconsideration/en banc review has expired or after the court has denied a timely request. This change would be welcome: I have been caught in the awkward position of filing a petition for review while an application for reconsideration was pending. |
