John Rue & Associates thrives in federal court. So we welcome referrals from other counsel, and direct requests from clients to take over a case for purposes of appeals. Although we are headquartered in New Jersey, we can litigate in any federal court in the country, provided we can collaborate with a local attorney to meet court requirements for practice by out-of-state lawyers.

JR&A lawyers are licensed in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida. And the firm has a nationwide network of colleagues who would facilitate our appearance in federal court any other U.S. jurisdiction.

The Firm accepts federal appeals on either structured fee agreements or hourly billing. The amount of a structured fee depends upon whether the appeal is on a purely legal question or a factual one. Although we may have to appear in person to litigate such cases, we do not charge our clients for travel time, even on the other side of the country. Travel expenses and sometimes the cost of local counsel, however, are billed. But these costs are easily estimated on a case-by-case basis.
