The appellate process provides an opportunity to challenge legal errors that may have led to an unfair conviction or excessive sentencing. At JB Brown Criminal Trial Practice, we provide skilled legal representation to clients seeking post-conviction relief and criminal appeals in Alabama.
The Criminal Appeals Process
A criminal appeal is not a retrial but a legal review of the trial proceedings to determine if mistakes were made that affected the outcome. Appeals must be filed within strict deadlines, so it is essential to act quickly if you believe your conviction was unjust.
Common Grounds for Criminal Appeals:
Legal Errors: Mistakes in the application of law, such as improper jury instructions or the wrongful admission of evidence.
Ineffective Assistance of Counsel: If your trial attorney failed to provide adequate representation, it could be grounds for appeal.
Insufficient Evidence: Challenging a conviction when the prosecution failed to meet its burden of proof.
Sentencing Errors: If the sentence imposed was not in accordance with Alabama law.
Strategic Representation for Appellate Cases
Our approach to appeals includes:
Thorough Case Review: Examining trial records to identify appealable errors.
Legal Brief Preparation: Crafting compelling arguments to present to appellate courts.
Dedicated Court Representation: Advocating on your behalf in state and federal appellate courts.
