APPEALS
There are generally two ways to be convicted of a crime - by pleading guilty (or no contest) and by losing at trial. Either way, there are times when things go wrong during the process. That is when an experienced appellate attorney can help. An appeal involves reviewing a trial/plea/sentencing to determine if any mistakes were made (by the judge/jury/lawyers), and, if so, arguing those issues to the court of appeals.
If you believe that you (or someone you know) were involved in a criminal case in which mistakes were made, contact me for a consultation. Keep in mind that there is a very limited time frame to begin the appeal process (usually 30 days from the date of sentencing).
