U.S Supreme Court Petition Attorney

Petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court is a rare, high-stakes step. Alderman Law Firm helps clients prepare and file certiorari petitions, respond to calls for briefing, and advocate arguments at the highest level. Our experience in appellate advocacy ensures your petition is polished, precise, and positioned for maximum consideration.

What Is a Cert Petition?

A “cert petition” (petition for writ of certiorari) is a formal request for the Supreme Court to review a lower court’s decision. Granting cert means the Court deems the issue nationally significant or resolves split interpretations among circuits. Most petitions are denied, so preparing a strong, persuasive document is critical.
