Criminal Court Process - Appeals

Appeals

Criminal Appeals:

Appeals occur when someone is convicted of a crime at a trial, but would like to appeal the conviction or the sentence imposed to a higher court called an appellate or reviewing court. An appeal is an action to try to overturn the trial court's decision based on legal or procedural error.

No new evidence may be introduced on the appeal; the appellate court only looks at the record and evidence from the trial court to determine if the trial court properly decided on the case. If the defendant is successful with the appeal, the defendant will be entitled to a new trial or the charges against him will be dismissed.

Appellate law is the most complex and challenging area of criminal defense. It is a highly specialized area of law that requires very specific skills and experience. Therefore, it is important that you hire a specialized appeal lawyer to represent your appeal case. A criminal defense lawyer can advise you on how to go about your case so that you can get the results you expect.
