Appeals

Appeals happen for both federal and state courts, along with many administrative bodies. In an appeal, one or both of the parties to a lawsuit ask a higher court to look at the evidence that was presented in a case when there appears to be some error in the trial. These errors would be errors of law or procedure, covering things such as the judge making a bad ruling during a trial or the jury being given the wrong jury instructions when they make their decision. All court proceedings have the possibility to be appealed for errors of law, all the way up to the United States Supreme Court. Appeals cover both criminal and civil cases. 

When you need to have an appeal heard before a higher level court, you need an expert in having appeals heard on your side. Every court has special rules on everything involving an appeal ranging from deadline to have the case heard or even what kind of font has to be used in the brief. Because of this, it can be best to hire a specialist in covering an appeal to make sure that the case is handled in a way where all the rules are followed. If you are in the need of an appeal, time may not be on your side. Call and set up your consultation with our appellate lawyers today.
