About John Varga

Mr. Varga is a freelanceattorney with eleven years of experience in federal and state appellate court practice who writes appellate briefs for attorneys with cases pending before the federal circuit courts of appeals or state appellate courts.   Mr. Vargaworks only for other attorneys.  Because he does not represent clients directly, but merely provides support or "of counsel" services under independent contract with other attorneys, Mr. Varga may provide brief-writing services to attorneys in any jurisdiction in the United States.

Mr. Varga has prepared thousands of appellate briefs, presented oral arguments, and drafted complex brief on issues of federal and international importance.  The cases on which he worked involved sophisticated areas of federal law, including immigration, international treaties, bankruptcy, copyright and patent infringement, and securities regulation. 

In November 2008, an ABA Ethics Opinion noted the many cost-added benefits to attorneys who hire a freelance attorney to handle their appeals:  cost savings, time management, and practice diversification.  For example, Mr. Varga's flat fee for a basic federal appellate brief typically starts at around $1000, with upward or downward adjustments to reflect the relative complexity of your appeal.  The cost to produce the same appellate brief in-house normally is far higher.  You may pass some of these cost savings along to your client, and use the remainder to increase your profit margin.   When you find yourself swamped with work, or facing impossible filing deadlines, you can turn to a freelance attorney to ease you over your temporary crisis. 

Because an appellate specialist routinely concentrates on complex areas of federal law, you can expand the types of cases that your law practice undertakes.  Finally, a brief written by a freelance appellate specialist, who understands what judges expect to find in a winning appellate brief, maximizes your chances for a successful outcome for your client.  

Prompt and Proven Services.
  In preparing an appellate brief, Mr. Varga uses the most up-to-date and sophisticated online legal research.  Based on his experience, he identifies and concisely analyzes those legal issues which are most likely to succeed for you on appeal.  He delivers your brief well in advance of your filing deadline, in both electronic and hard-copy formats. 

After you have a chance to read the brief, he will consult with you to determine the need for any amendments.  If necessary, he can prepare you for, or appear on your behalf, at oral argument.  Discover the benefits of hiring a freelance attorney to write your appellate briefs -- contact us today for a free initial consultation.
