Thank you so much for your interest in Gusdorff Law, P.C.
Due to the specialized nature of our practice and limited number of cases we accept each month, we regrettably are unable to assist everyone who contacts us. The following questions will help us determine whether we are the right appellate partner for your case.
Regardless of whether we work together, we wish you the best in your pursuit of justice.
With gratitude, Gusdorff Law, P.C.
We want to make sure we are the right firm to assist you in your case. Please review the following list of categories of appeals that our firm does not handle:
Unlawful detainer/ landlord-tenant disputes
Civil harassment restraining orders
Family law (including custody, alimony, divorce, trusts, wills, juvenile dependency matters)
Criminal law
Administrative law appeals
Probate appeals
Bankruptcy appeals
Immigration appeals
Workers compensation
Pro Se cases
If your case involves any of the practice areas listed above, we are sorry we are unable to assist you. We urge you to reach out to another appellate firm promptly, as there are many important deadlines in every appeal, and the failure to comply with those deadlines may bar your ability to proceed and obtain relief. If your case involves law or a practice area other than those listed above, please continue.

We thank you for your interest in Gusdorff Law, P.C.
At this time, we are only accepting appeals from litigants who have been represented by legal counsel. This decision is not a reflection of the merits of your case, but merely a business decision based on our resources and current caseload.
We are sorry we are unable to assist you and encourage you to reach out to another appellate firm promptly, as there are many important deadlines in every appeal, and the failure to comply with those deadlines may bar your ability to proceed and obtain relief.
If you plan to proceed in pro per (representing yourself) on appeal, the California Courts of Appeal and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals have excellent free appellate resources for the self-represented litigants. Here are some links to those resources for your reference:

We wish you the best of success in your pursuit of justice.
