New York City Appeals Attorney

Lost your criminal case? Want to appeal?

If you are unhappy with the outcome of your criminal case, or feel the sentence imposed was overly harsh, you have the right to appeal your case. In an appeal, a higher court will review aspects of your case looking for errors in procedure, violation of rights or improper sentencing. In some appeals, it is possible to have the case dismissed; in others, the case may be sent for re-trial. You must, within 30 days of the conviction, file a notice of appeal with the court and the prosecutor.

People are often unhappy with their attorney when they have had unsatisfactory results from a criminal trial. This is very often well-justified. If you retain a New York City criminal defense lawyer from our office, we will immediately go through every document and piece of evidence from the original trial and search out any and all violations of your constitutional rights, hostile conduct by the prosecutor, failures of your previous defense counsel, incorrect rulings or introduction of evidence that should have been withheld. Based on what we find we will prepare the brief of our arguments in favor of appeal. A successful appeal is based on a thorough and complete understanding of the laws and procedures in both state and federal court, aggressive and energetic argument, and skill in preparing the brief. Our attorneys have a proven record on appeal and can be a determined resource for you. We are well-versed in all aspects of criminal law. Our broad knowledge-base enables us to handle appeals in cases involving drug crimes, DWI-DUI, federal crimes, sex crimes, theft crimes, violent crimes and white collar crimes. We understand what a conviction can do to your future. There is nothing we enjoy more than winning a successful appeal for our clients.
