Dustin Collier
“We have worked exclusively with Pine Tillett LLP for years. They are well known for their appellate expertise, but they are also simply excellent people to work with. Just two months ago, they successfully protected our client’s reinstatement award (worth nearly 3M to him) and our $9M+ fee award in an extraordinarily contentious appeal, against very worthy adversaries, involving numerous issues of first impression, on the largest appellate record I’ve ever seen. I cannot recommend this firm enough!”

“I am a personal injury lawyer in California, and Pine Tillett Pine has been my firm’s go-to appellate firm for many years. After I filed an appellate brief in the mid 2000s, I was introduced to Norm Pine who consulted with me in preparation for the oral argument, which resulted in a favorable and frequently-cited published opinion. Since then, I have worked with Pine Tillett Pine on several very successful appeals resulting in published opinions that have completely shifted the discovery playing field in my area of the law. I cannot speak highly enough of the work that Pine Tillett Pine has done in each of those appeals.”

Clarice Letizia
“I had obtained a 1.6 million dollar verdict on a Retaliation case and the defendant appealed. We hired Pine Tillett Pine to handle the appeal and they were wonderful! They were able to keep our verdict and we all eventually got paid. I was impressed with their in depth knowledge of the case and the factual detail. It was a complicated case involving FDA regulations for the distribution of blood plasma. The firm handled it with grace and determination.”
