A Trial Lawyer's Perspective on Appellate Practice | Carlos Soltero

Trial lawyers and appellate lawyers have different skill sets that compliment each other's practices. But some trial lawyers feel equally at home in both the trial and appellate courts. In this episode, Todd Smith and Jody Sanders talk to their first trial attorney guest, Carlos Soltero, about his experiences in both courts. Carlos offers his perspective as a trial lawyer on appellate practice, revealing how he handles his own appeals, where most of his work comes from, and how he is doing in the current pandemic. He talks the different roles he plays and shares some advice on dealing with jury charges, collaborative work, attorney fees, and more. Carlos also offers a peek at his book, Latinos and American Law, where he sheds light on the different ways the legal system has affected the Hispanic, Latino, and Mexican-American communities and individuals.
