What to Know About the Appellate Process.

If you are unjustly convicted of a criminal offense the consequences are devastating.  It is important to understand what your options are to appeal such a decision.  Each level of the appellate court may only review arguments addressed by a lower court.  If there is any issue that may be appealed you cannot afford to miss the opportunity.

Appellate judges only consider the record of the trial court.  Most of the time it all hinges on the written briefs.  Successfully appealing the proper issues requires significant trial-level experience and substantial knowledge of legal issues that are extremely complex.  Upon that knowledge lies the necessity of being able to present a written brief precisely to the court.
