Kevin Hochhalter, Appellate Attorney

There is nothing more thrilling to me as a lawyer than standing before the highest judges to explain to them why the law should favor my client.

If your case is headed toward appeal, I would be honored to stand for you.

History

I have handled over 100 appeals in Washington’s appellate courts, with a solid record of success. After seven years of civil litigation practice, I formed Olympic Appeals PLLC in 2017 to focus entirely on appeals, helping trial attorneys and their clients by providing quality representation and peace of mind during an appeal.

Qualifications

I was admitted into the Washington Appellate Lawyers Association in 2020 in recognition of my skill and experience. I was selected to the Washington Super Lawyers list in appellate law from 2022-23 and the Rising Stars list from 2018-20. I regularly present Continuing Legal Education classes to other lawyers on the subject of appeals. I graduated fifth in my class at the University of Iowa College of Law in 2010, where I won awards for my legal research and writing.

We enjoy working with trial attorneys across the state to help us handle any trial court hearings that become necessary as part of an appeal. We can also appear remotely when the trial courts allow it. We are always prepared to travel to any of Washington’s appellate courts for in-person oral argument.
