Criminal Appeals

I draft appeals, reassess evidence and procedural errors. I work for reversal or mitigation.

I step in after a judgment or an investigative judge ruling. I test evidence and procedure, spot errors and build the appeal strategy. I prepare the brief with exhibits and argue in the appellate court.

  • Review the judgment or ruling and appeal deadlines
  • Identify procedural errors and weak evidence
  • Draft the appeal and the hearing outline
  • Seek reversal or sentence reduction
Clear guidance and a systematic approach. Focus on procedural flaws and fresh evidence assessment.
