Our goal is to provide the most powerful, cost-effective representation we can to every client. Legal grounds for a criminal appealAn appellate attorney does not ask to have the appellate court try the criminal case again. An appeal may challenge the conviction or the sentencing. Grounds for a criminal appeal include procedural errors in the original trial. If the criminal trial process violated your constitutional rights, you have grounds for an appeal.If your right to fair treatment and due process in the justice system was violated, you may be eligible for post-conviction relief. In a recent criminal appeal our lawyer was able to demonstrate that a client whose probation had been revoked wasn't given an opportunity to be heard at his hearing. The three-year sentence was overturned. If you have any doubts about whether police and court procedures were followed properly during your arrest and trial, you should talk with a criminal appeals attorney about your position.
