If you need to appeal a ruling on summary judgment, the first step is for you to retain an appellate lawyer to review the situation for you. This is not a matter for you to attempt to handle for yourself. The issues in a summary judgment proceeding are complicated, and you have almost no chance of succeeding without an attorney. There are even many lawyers who do not know how to properly handle an appeal, so make your choice of attorney carefully. If your trial lawyer is not going to handle the appeal for you, then you need to contact an appellate lawyer as soon as possible.
