Why a Crestview Appellate Attorney is Necessary

If you feel that you were misrepresented in court, you might have grounds for an appeal. Over the years, we have been successful in appealing a number of cases, both for criminal and civil cases. A criminal appeals lawyer or Crestview civil appeals lawyer can help right the wrongs that were made during the trial and give you an option past the initial judge’s ruling. Appeals can be a long and complicated process, but if you have grounds for an appeal, you need to do so quickly. In Florida you only have 30 days from the end of the trial to make an appeal, so contacting Crestview criminal or civil appeals lawyers directly after the trial is vital. From there, your appeals attorney will look over the case thoroughly. They will examine any objections that were made, evidence that was submitted, the jury that was selected, and the transcripts of the case. After examination, they will be able to advise you on whether filing an appeal is a good idea, as well as what steps you can take next. They will give you their opinion on if they feel your appeal will be successful or not.

How the Appeals Process Works

Once an appeal has been made, the process slows down significantly. The Clerk of the Court will provide your trial record, which is a record of everything that happened to you between first arrest or claim, to the judge’s ruling and sentencing. Our Crestview appellate attorneys will then need to pour over this information and prepare a defense for you in front of the appellate court. From there, it could take 18 months for the Florida Courts of Appeals to actually hear your case. Crestview criminal appeals attorneys may be able to have your prior case thrown out altogether, although this is a rare circumstance. You also could be released from jail until the appellate process is complete, if the Court of Appeals decides to hear your case. You can also search for a Crestview civil appeals attorney if you feel your civil case was not handled as it should have been. This can be related to matters of bankruptcy, personal injury, business law, and more. The process is slightly different to that of a criminal trial, but it is still important that you find an attorney with experience in the appeals process to represent you.If you are thinking of filing for an appeal in Okaloosa County, or anywhere in Florida, you need to contact the law offices of ASG Legal immediately.
