Want to Appeal Your Conviction?
If you’ve been convicted of a crime in the Bay Area, appealing that conviction could be in your best interest. It could mean the difference between serving out a prison sentence and regaining your freedom. An appeal could mean you don’t have to pay thousands of dollars in fines. Most of all, an overturned conviction means that it will no longer appear on your record.
In your appeal, your Bay Area criminal appeals attorney will ask a higher court to review the specifics of your trial and will argue that legal mistakes led to an unjust conviction or sentence. For example, your criminal appeals lawyer may prove that the evidence used against you should be disallowed, or that the prosecution withheld evidence that could have helped you. They could argue that the judge provided the jury with confusing instructions, that the wrong law was applied to your case, or that your sentence was inappropriate.
