Lawyer Overview

Annette Hasapidis is a 1991 graduate of Brooklyn Law School who has devoted much of her career to the refinement and practice of advanced appellate techniques in the New York State and federal courts. Ms. Hasapidis has received an AV-rating, the highest rating from her peers based upon her legal ability and ethical standards. Her ability to integrate superior research and writing skills with outstanding strategic insights can make the difference for your appellate case, whether you are defending a successful trial result, or seeking relief from an unfavorable ruling.

Since 1991, Ms. Hasapidis has handled more than 170 appeals, and has worked with trial counsel on a wide range of motions and difficult strategic decisions.

With more than 17 years experience in New York State and federal litigation, Ms. Hasapidis understands successful appellate practice depends on more than a mastery of the record, an understanding of the law, and a well-crafted brief.

Because of her uniquely diverse background in many areas of civil litigation, from products liability and employment discrimination litigation to matrimonial cases, Attorney Hasapidis can be relied upon to deliver an outstanding, thorough appellate presentation that keeps the Court's focus squarely where it belongs; convincing the panel why your position should prevail. She can express the merits of your case persuasively and economically in terms that answer the appellate court's questions with respect to the facts, the law, and the standard of review that will guide their decision.

Annette Hasapidis has that extraordinarily rare ability to focus on the issues, know the strengths and weaknesses of the case, and show the appellate courts why her position makes sense and should be the law.
