Appeals
Leslie Hayes Russo handles appeals from verdicts in civil cases in both the state and federal courts on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants. She has co-authored with other attorneys a chapter in the leading treatise on the fine points of appellate advocacy in Maryland, APPELLATE ADVOCACY FOR THE MARYLAND LAWYER: STATE AND FEDERAL (1st and 2nd Editions). She has also lectured on these subjects in statewide seminars, teaching other lawyers how to handle appeals.
She recently handled an appeal to the Court of Special Appeals in which the Court affirmed one of the highest product liability verdicts ever awarded in Maryland in favor of a single plaintiff who had sued an automobile manufacturer for failing to warn of a dangerous hazard which resulted in the traumatic amputation of both legs.
