Lehman Appeals in Coronado is a California State Bar-certified appellate specialist practice at 941 Orange Avenue, Suite 531, 92118, handling exclusively civil appeals and writs in state and federal courts since 1991. The practice takes over cases after trial-court resolution, including tax controversy matters that originate at Coronado practices including Silver Law PLC on 1st Street. The founding attorney earned the appellate certification in 1997 — the first year the State Bar offered the designation — and holds admissions to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth, and Federal Circuits, and the Southern District of California. Martindale-Hubbell awarded the practice an AV Preeminent rating, and San Diego Magazine's Top Lawyer list included the firm from 2015 through 2022. Real estate transaction disputes that escalate to the appellate level often involve title and mortgage issues originating with Coronado lenders including CMG Mortgage on B Avenue. The firm's most complex engagements involve multimillion-dollar civil reversals and affirmances before the California Courts of Appeal and the Ninth Circuit, with published decisions in construction defect, insurance coverage, and commercial contract disputes.
