Jim P. Mahacek, a highly regarded appellate attorney, was a member of the California State Bar Committee on Appellate Courts from 2003 to 2006, and has been a Certified Appellate Specialist for over 16 years. His practice in appellate law emphasizes complex civil appeals from civil trials, insurance bad faith, partnership dissolution, and general business matters. His appellate law firm is well recognized as one of Orange County, California’s, best appellate law firms.
Mr. Mahacek, although based in Orange County, California, through his distinguished appellate law firm, practices appellate law throughout California from Washington to the Mexican borders and in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (Federal), the California State Supreme Court, and all Appellate Districts. Unlike trial courts that demand numerous “in person” hearings, the California Supreme Court and various Courts of Appeal have only one in person appearance and some even permit telephonic appearances. The ability to appear throughout the state has become even easier (and less expensive) as the Courts have moved to online filing.
