Product Liability

Appellate Advocacy
Erroneous decisions are sometimes made by judges and fact-finders in all phases of litigation.

Tirado-Luciano & Tirado’s lawyers have experience representing clients in State and Federal Appellate Courts. Our appellate lawyers also provide an added benefit to the litigation matters they handle by ensuring appellate issues are properly preserved in case of a resulting or necessary appeal.
