Attorney Sarah Gad is an accomplished Minnesota appellate lawyer with a proven track record of reversing unjust convictions and restoring her clients’ freedom. If your trial lawyer failed you, we won’t.

Disputing Trial Court Results
A conviction isn’t always the end of the road. If you believe mistakes were made at trial, you may have the right to appeal. But appeals can’t be filed just because you disagree with the verdict—you must identify specific legal errors. These may include the improper admission of evidence, flawed jury instructions, or misapplication of sentencing laws. An experienced Minnesota appellate attorney can evaluate your case and determine the strongest grounds for appeal.
Appeals Are Not Trials—They’re Legal Battles on Paper
Appeals are very different from trials. There’s no jury, no witness testimony, and often no courtroom appearance at all. Instead, appeals are decided almost entirely on written arguments—called briefs—that outline exactly what went wrong at trial and why the conviction or sentence should be reversed. These legal briefs must be sharp, strategic, and supported by the record. That’s why you need an appellate lawyer who understands how to build a winning argument—someone like Sarah Gad, who regularly appears before the Minnesota Court of Appeals and Supreme Court. If you believe the system got it wrong, we’re here to help you fight back—and fight smarter.

But time is critical, and appellate law is not something to leave in the hands of just any lawyer. Appeals require a sharp legal mind, meticulous attention to detail, and relentless advocacy.
