No decent appellate attorney is inexpensive. They usually guage an estimate for a fee based upon the size of the transcript together with other factors. The transcript has to be read carefully, and notes are taken, so a large transcript takes many hours just to read and annotate. Then there are the other factors involved: research and writing the brief, etc. Last, but not least, are the printing costs and distribution of the briefs and whether there will be any oral argument. As a starting point, you should figure $10,000 to multiples of that depending upon the case. Choose an experienced appellate attorney.

It depends on the case and the issues. If it's a settled issued of law and the trial judge erred it could be quite inexpensive because there wouldn't be much research. I, like many lawyers, offer free consultations, and you're welcome to call to discuss the case and to get an estimate. There are very strict timelines for appeal and so you should consider calling a lawyer right away.

Based solely on your question which reveals no facts or circumstances regarding the nature of the appeal, the first number that I thought of was $10,000+
As the other attorneys noted, appeals are deadline sensitive. Act now!
