If you have had the unfortunate experience of being convicted on a criminal charge, you might think that everything is settled and there is nothing more to do. However, this is hardly the case, and, in fact, you should hire a criminal defense appeal lawyer as soon as possible. There are plenty of reasons why this is so.
Challenge the Conviction.
An experienced attorney knows their job is to challenge the ruling made in the lower court to a higher court. They will argue that the lower court misinterpreted or misapplied the law, and therefore the guilty verdict should not stand. This can be a very difficult process and should only be handled by a lawyer who knows exactly what they are doing.
They Know the Judges.
When you hire a criminal defense appeals lawyer who has been doing this for a while, you are also getting their knowledge of each judge in the district and the better argument to present to them. This is invaluable information that also has the prime chance of overturning your conviction.
Regain Your Freedom.
There are many cases where you will be sentenced to remain in jail while the case is being appealed. However, a qualified attorney will do all that they can to get you released while the case is being appealed so that you can regain at least some semblance of a normal life.
If you or a loved one has been convicted, please contact Cheronis & Parente LLC, and they will assess your case.
