An expert appellate & trial-court advocate, anchored in persuasive legal writing


All with devotion to top-class, persuasive legal writing and oral advocacy

 

Bay Area attorney Ted W. Pelletier works with California attorneys in civil litigation, representing individuals, consumers, and companies who have suffered financial or physical injury. Ted combines over 25 years of success in the California Supreme Court and appellate courts with years of winning trial-court advocacy.

In the higher courts, Ted defends judgments, reverses erroneous dismissals, and helps shape California law to protect innocent victims of corporate misconduct. In the trial courts, Ted uses his appellate expertise to advise and strategize, craft winning legal theories, obtain beneficial evidentiary rulings, and prevail on dispositive motions.

More than just an appellate attorney.

 
 

Ted works with trial counsel throughout the trial-court process to win the case and protect it on appeal.

Trial counsel are busy enough – finding cases, interviewing witnesses, discovery, trial preparation. Few can also emphasize effective, persuasive legal writing and advocacy.

That’s what Ted does. Working with trial counsel, he quickly gains command of the case and gets to work, producing briefs of the highest quality and arguing the issues in front of the judge. And he consults with trial counsel throughout the process, even during trial – freeing trial attorneys to do the things they do best.

“Ted’s understanding of the law, research, writing, and oral-argument skills are the best I have seen.”
