This hardly seems limited to Verizon. I'm unaware of any for profit business that will review your bill and point out how you could be paying less money to them.
Once the original trial has been carried out, an appeal can only be made of issues that were properly disputed and objected to at trial. So, if a fact is established at trial, and there is no clear objection that is preserved for appeal, you can't argue it, even if you think that would be a great way to win the case during appeal
Almost. You can argue ineffective assistance of counsel to get around that.
Pretty standard argument in criminal felony appeals, not sure it applies to civil trials as well.
