Appeals
Appeals
Seeking an appeal differs vastly from presenting your case to a jury, which is why you need an attorney with the experience in front of appellate judges. Whether you are dealing with a criminal, civil, or administrative case, you need a team that can raise the issues that matter to the appellate bench, one with a fresh perspective that can see the bigger picture and can shape your legal arguments in the most favorable fashion.
When a civil or criminal case is appealed, a higher court reviews the decision of the lower court based on the evidence already presented in the original trial. An appellate judge will review the court record, providing the appellant — or the person appealing — an opportunity to argue any perceived errors in the case and their reasons for why the decision should be overturned. The other party, known as the appellee, will defend the trial decision in an effort to convince the appellate judge to affirm the case.
Whether you are looking to overturn a conviction or preserve a judge’s decision, our experienced attorneys at Nation Lawyers can help. We have years of experience presenting cases at the highest appellate level and litigating criminal and civil appeals. If you lost your trial or won your case and are now facing an appeal, our knowledgeable legal team will fight for you and help you achieve the results you desire.
