scales.jpgWhen you don't get the result you desired at trial,  you may wish to appeal. An appeal is a review of your case by a superior court.

At RASSAS, NORTH & ASSOCIATES, we are extremely proud of our successful appellate record. We have proven ourselves with impressive victories, particularly in the area of domestic relations, assuring fair and equitable divisions of marital property and protecting spouses' interests in their separate property.

Some of our most impressive successes have been in the highly volitile area of child custody. We are especially pleased with our results in Gaskill v. Gaskill, 936 S.W.2d 626 (Tenn. App. 1996), which has become one of the most cited cases in Tennessee child custody matters.
