Why Attorney Walter James Kronzer?
Experience
After practicing as a trial lawyer since 1988, attorney Kronzer decided in 1997 to focus on Appellate Law. He has been involved in over150 cases in that time. He is an author and a speaker at Continuing Legal Education seminars.
Accreditation
Attorney Kronzer is Board Certified in Civil Appellate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, and is Mediator Certified by A.A.White Institute.
Thorough Research
Attorney Kronzer provides in-depth research to insure that your position has a firm basis, and that you are not surprised by the position of your adversary. As an experienced Texas appellate attorney, he asserts all reasonable arguments in support of an issue.
Offers A Fresh Look
Mr. Kronzer dispassionately evaluates the merits of the case and is alert not only to the prospects of success on appeal but also to any opportunity for a favorable settlement.
Prevent the Primary Litigator From Being Distracted
Attorney Kronzer aggressively approaches the detail work in order to conduct in-depth research and write effective appellate briefs. Although the issues of law are critical, and may well swing the balance of the case, they may be distracting to the primary litigator.
Acceleration of the Appellate Process
The time from the notice of appeal until the decision of the appellate panel can be lengthy. There are several critical milestones that cause such a delay. Mr. Kronzer understands the appellate process; therefore, he is sometimes able to accelerate the process.
Sophisticated Arguments
Appeals generally focus on determining the correct legal standard to be applied to the facts already determined by the trial court. Attorney Kronzer provides the Appellate courts with precise, sophisticated arguments focused sharply on the controlling principles the appellate court must apply.
Writing Style
Many valid appeals are lost for failure to properly brief them. A brief written by Attorney Kronzer receives very through research and is written in a persuasive manner.
Saves You Litigation Time
An attorney actively engaged in litigation does not have the large blocks of time necessary to conduct competent in-depth research and write a persuasive appellate brief, much less to do so within the tight deadlines imposed by the courts. Transferring this work to Attorney Kronzer, saves valuable time which can be used to focus on litigation of other cases.
Argues the Case
Attorney Kronzer is best suited to argue the case as he as researched the issues and wrote the brief. Therefore, he is most familiar with the Appellate record in the case and the law behind the issues. There will be three justices questioning the attorney about the law and Appellate record, and unless the attorney arguing the case is intimately familiar with the record, the argument may go poorly.
Obtain Another Perspective
Having tried the case themselves, trial attorneys become convinced of the merits of their cause. They may lose objectivity and would be well served by consulting and taking the advice of disinterested members of the bar, schooled in appellate practice.
