Review on a writ of certiorari is not a matter of right, but of judicial discretion. Your petition will be granted only if you can demonstrate compelling reasons.

Our team of experts will help prepare your petition by:

Advising which documents must be included in the appendix under Sup. Ct. R. 14.1 (i).
Reviewing your petition to confirm that it contains each Court-required section, including an in-depth review of your Questions Presented — a service no other printer offers.
Proofreading — using highly-skilled legal proofreaders.
Preparing and filing your certificate of compliance and affidavit of service.
Posting your petition to our website, if requested, so amici, media, and the legal blogosphere can view and link to it.

If cert. is granted, we can also help prepare your merits stage brief.

I wanted to thank Andy [for connecting us to the right resource to resolve our procedural question].… You could have simply done the printing and charged us for it, but instead you helped us get the procedure correct – even though that obviated the filing. Thank you! Lisa A. Mathewson The Law Offices of Lisa A. Mathewson, LLC

Thanks again for all of your help with our Brief in Opposition. Your suggestions were pertinent and sensible, and we could not have been more pleased with the printing and presentation of the Brief.

Many thanks to everyone who assisted in the filing of my Extraordinary Writ of Mandamus to the U.S. Supreme Court – a special thanks to Matt, who gave extra effort to assure that my brief was accurate! As a pro se litigant, there is stress going it alone. Preparing my brief for the Court was the one phase where I did not feel alone, thanks to you.
