Divorce Appeals

A Proven Trial Attorney for Your Alabama Divorce Appeal

If your recent divorce went all the way to court and you were shocked by how unjust the outcome was, we encourage you to contact us at The Oncale Firm in Birmingham. It isn't truly over until your right to appeal expires. You have yet another huge decision to make, and we want to help ease that burden.

Many factors can contribute to divorce orders that justify an appeal with a reasonable chance of success. Judges are human and they make errors. Many family law attorneys do not have substantial trial experience — as Shane Oncale does — and yours may have made mistakes or missed opportunities in building your case.

Compassion and Knowledge You Can Count On

We know that deciding whether to appeal your divorce or accept the outcome and move on may be very difficult. You have probably spent a large sum of money on legal representation, only to be severely disappointed. However, we also understand that an unjust divorce decree — whether the problematic orders for you involve child custody and visitation, property division, or alimony/spousal support — can mean lifelong hardship and regret.

You can depend on Shane Oncale for diligent research and an honest evaluation of your situation — without false optimism or pressure to proceed. Just as we do in providing divorce counsel and representation, we strive to keep you in control and equipped to make sound decisions about your potential divorce appeal.

It is perfectly valid to turn to a different lawyer after a divorce trial yields results you consider unfair. Even if you were well represented, fresh perspective and strategy may be beneficial in determining whether a relief is within reach. As an attorney whose 15 years of experience include substantial trial work, Shane Oncale could be the right resource.

It may not be necessary to simply live under the terms of an adverse and unjust divorce decree. If you feel you owe it to yourself to follow through and determine if a divorce appeal makes sense for you, please contact us today. We welcome clients from all across Alabama with personal, caring attention and determination to deliver quality counsel. While it may have been wise to hire the best known local attorney to handle your divorce, that attorney may not be the best option to handle your appeal. The appeal of your case in not a local matter and will not be handled by a local judge, rather, all documents and arguments on appeal will be to an appellate court which sits in Montgomery, Alabama. For your divorce or family law appeal you should seek out an attorney best equipped to handle the legal issues involved in your case regardless of the location of that attorney's office in the state of Alabama.
