Appeals

Those who are convicted at trial may appeal to the next highest Court. An appeal is not a new trial and, generally, one will not be allowed to introduce new facts. Instead, it is the process of asking a higher court to rule that the lower court made a mistake in interpreting the law.

A request to appeal a case must be filed within a specific amount of time and, if this deadline is not met, you will lose the right to appeal without exception. Appeals are not a “do it yourself” project and they require an in-depth knowledge of both the law and the appellate rules of procedure.

If you wish to appeal your conviction, then you should contact the South & Wright, PLLC immediately to ensure that notice is timely filed and an experience attorney can guide you through the appellate process.
