 VanDermyden Block’s primary focus
is on helping employers avoid the expense and
headache of litigation through seasoned advice and
counsel, training (prevention), and investigation
(early intervention), so that problems in the
workplace are addressed long before they become
serious concerns in the courts.
Unfortunately, not
all lawsuits can be avoided. When litigation
ensues, the emphasis inevitably turns to minimizing
the disruption and damage that a lawsuit can cause
in the workplace. If the matter goes to trial,
issues of disruption and expense become paramount.
When all is said and done, often the only remaining
option is to appeal the trial court’s decision or
respond to an appeal filed by the other side.
Under these
circumstances, VanDermyden Block offers
comprehensive appellate advocacy expertise in
designating an appellate record, drafting and filing
an opening, opposition or reply brief, and preparing
oral argument.
As seasoned civil
litigators, Sue Ann VanDermyden and Teri Block have
argued numerous matters before California federal
and state appellate courts. Having clerked for two
years for Judge Consuelo M. Callahan, United States
Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, Teri brings a
uniquely practical perspective to her appellate
practice – one that has garnered her tremendous
respect and success.
When litigation
could not be avoided and the matter is destined for
the appellate courts, VanDermyden Block can step in
to provide full-service civil appellate advocacy.
