What is an appeal?
In general, here’s what you need to know about an appeal:
– An appeal is a challenge of an earlier decision that’s presented to a higher court for review.
– Appeals generally are based on procedural errors that take place at the trial level.
– The appellate courts review the rulings of law to decide whether these errors had an impact on the result or made the trial unfair.
– Note that the appellate courts review only the legal aspects of a case; they don’t reopen the facts of a case already found by the lower court.
– Appellate courts won’t consider legal arguments that weren’t mentioned, or weren’t objected to, by counsel at the lower court level.
– The appellate court will only grant relief if the erroneous ruling was harmful to the outcome.
If a court ruled in your case and you feel there was a mistake made, your case was dismissed without proper procedure or the penalty was too harsh, we can work with you on producing a better result.
Most Lawyers do not practice this type of law and therefore it is imperative for you to have a lawyer that has in-depth knowledge and expertise on the topic.
When something goes wrong in a trial, the appellate Lawyer helps the client by filing a Notice of Appeal and drafting an Appellate brief to point out those issues so that a higher court may make a judgment based on the issues raised during the pre-trial and trial, normally no new evidence may be introduced in the appeal process.
