The Practice

How the firm helps

Appellate Advocacy

Trial lawyers win cases at trial. Appeals are won by a different discipline — rigorous issue-spotting, persuasive brief-writing, and command of the record. Whatever the subject matter, Hearron PLLC provides rigorous legal analysis, outstanding written and oral advocacy, and a deep understanding of what persuades appellate courts.

Trial-Level Support

Successful appeals start at the trial level. Hearron PLLC can be brought in for the moments that shape the record — key motions such as motions to dismiss and for summary judgment — and can serve as the appellate lawyer at counsel table during trial, ensuring that every issue is properly preserved for appeal.

Strategic Counseling

Drawing on a wealth of experience advising clients on thorny legal questions in novel areas of law, Hearron PLLC helps clients navigate uncharted terrain. With a background leading public-interest impact litigation, the firm develops long-range litigation strategy and partners with trial counsel to put it into action.

Experience

Tested where the stakes are highest

Marc Hearron has more than two decades of experience litigating high-profile cases at every level. In 2021, he argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in one of the biggest cases of the decade — on only ten days' notice, potentially the fastest case in history to be argued after a cert grant.

He has held senior roles as a partner at a major international law firm, in the nonprofit public-interest sector, and in the U.S. Senate. His experience runs deepest where it matters most: novel areas of the law, emergency motions, and bet-the-company appeals. At Hearron PLLC, he brings that experience to bear for every client, in every matter, from start to finish.
