Me. R. Civ. P. 62

No Bonding Requirement per Me. R. Civ. P. 62(e).

“Stay Upon Appeal. Except as provided in subdivisions (c) and (d) of this rule, the taking of an appeal from a judgment shall operate as a stay of execution upon the judgment during the pendency of the appeal, and no supersedeas bond or other security shall be required as a condition of such stay.”

**In Federal cases the bond requirement is governed by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure “62(b) Stay by Bond or Other Security. At any time after judgment is entered, a party may obtain a stay by providing a bond or other security. The stay takes effect when the court approves the bond or other security and remains in effect for the time specified in the bond or other security.”**

His understanding of the requirements for appeal bonds, knowledge of the surety insurer market and his experience working with individual surety insurers make him an excellent choice when you need to bond an appeal."

"Dan and Arturo have been very helpful to me and my clients on more than one occasion. They have been so easy to work with. They can explain to the client about what kind of security is needed, what type of information the client needs to supply and how the process works. They try to get everything in place with a minimum of hassle, and they always follow up. I would not call anyone else for a supersedeas bond."
