NEBRASKA Part 35

An appeal to a higher court can cost you a lot of money. It could take quite a while before the appeals court makes a decision. Your lawyer should talk to you about whether or not he or she thinks your appeal will be successful. The appellate judges will not change the District Court Judge's decision unless they feel he/she was clearly unfair or made a serious mistake of some kind. If your lawyer tells you that your chances of winning are not good, you may want to get a second opinion, but do it right away. There are short time limits that must be met.
