What should I do before deciding to appeal or not?
In most cases it makes sense to do an objective and thorough cost/benefit analysis. This may not be easy since it is quite difficult for a party to be objective about his/her own case. Sometimes it is even hard for your lawyer to be impartial.

Our general advice is to take the proverbial "step backwards" and carefully and dispassionately evaluate the relevant factors, cost, and objective(s) of an appeal with one or two attorneys who are very experienced with appeals. Ideally at least one of the attorneys you consult with should not have been involved in the case at the lower court level.
