Advocating for Your Rights in State and Federal Appellate Courts

If you were convicted of a state or federal crime, you have a constitutional right to request appellate review of the trial court's handling of your case. When you appeal, a panel of appellate judges will analyze any issues your appellate attorney brings to its attention in order to determine if the trial court's actions were consistent with applicable law and procedure.

As your appellate attorney, James S. Friedman will ask the appellate court hearing your appeal to overturn any conviction that was obtained as a result of a violation of your constitutional rights. Your case may also be returned to the trial court for further action, which may ultimately result in a decision to downgrade or dismiss the criminal charges.
