Firm Background

Appellate

DKL’s in-depth knowledge of the appellate court system proves invaluable to firm clients as they work their way through the complex appellate process.

Our lawyers include a current judge, a former staff attorney for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and former clerk for the Georgia Supreme Court – providing DKL unique insight into the judicial decision-making process.

DKL lawyers have represented clients in matters before the United States Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, the Georgia Supreme Court, and the Georgia Court of Appeals.

Our lawyers have successfully represented clients in complex appeals in various areas of the law.

Recent significant appellate victories of DKL attorneys include:
    • successfully arguing before the Georgia Court of Appeals that, following the expiration of an exclusive services agreement, a public hospital may terminate a physician’s privileges in areas other than those provided for in the exclusive agreement

    • successfully arguing before the Georgia Court of Appeals that the expert affidavit requirement of O.C.G.A. § 9-11-9.1 does not apply to employers other than licensed health care facilities
