Tom Patterson and Michael Haeberle defeated an opponent’s appeal after Patterson Law Firm handled the trial of the matter. Patterson Law Firm was able to achieve an appellate win by arguing the opponent’s forfeiture of its right to appeal by its failure to file a post-trial motion following a jury trial. The case discusses the technical distinctions that trial and appellate lawyers should know that result from statute, Illinois Supreme Court rules and caselaw in order to preserve a client’s right to appeal, and the case is frequently cited for these principles.
