Winning on Appeal
Appeals - whether criminal or civil, state or federal - are complicated and time-consuming cases. There is a complex set of appellate procedures in place that every attorney handling an appeal must master. Just as importantly, your appeals lawyer has to be familiar with a vast body of law so that he or she can properly review and analyze your case in order to spot viable appellate issues. Raising the wrong issues on appeal could be the difference between winning and losing.
