In criminal cases, an individual may appeal his or her case by asking an appellate court to review the case for legal error in regards to the conviction itself or the sentence imposed. The appellate court reviews the case by looking at the record from the lower court including the court reporter's transcripts and documents and objects admitted into evidence. The court does not consider any new evidence, unless the discovery of new evidence is the tact on which the appeal is based. After hearing arguments from both sides, the appellate court may either uphold the lower court's decision or find that the conviction or sentence was erroneous. Leveraging the wide range of knowledge offered by our team of lawyers, we have the legal knowledge and expert resources needed to build convincing, persuasive appeals cases for our clients. |
