Illinois Appellate Law
Practice Focus: 

Curtis L. Blood has practiced in the same brown brick building in Collinsville, Illinois since 1991. The appellate practice started with court-appointed appeals before United States courts of appeals. The practice currently serves individual clients rather than corporations, and is about evenly split between civil and criminal and between state and federal. Despite a substantial number of private clients, Mr. Blood continues to serve from time to time as court-appointed counsel on appeal for people who cannot afford to hire an attorney. 

Established in 1991, this office is devoted to appellate practice over a wide range of substantive areas, both civil and criminal, and both state and federal. Curtis Blood is licensed and available in the Illinois appellate and supreme courts and the United States courts of appeals for the sixth, seventh and eighth circuits as well as the United States supreme court. Mr. Blood takes pride in being available to talk to his clients and keeping them well-informed. If you want your appeal handled in that way, call him.
