Understanding Criminal Appeals In New York

Criminal appeals serve as an avenue for individuals to challenge the outcome of their trial or plea. There are two primary types of criminal appeals: plea appeals and trial appeals. A plea appeal seeks to overturn or modify a guilty plea, while a trial appeal challenges the verdict or sentencing following a trial. The appeals process offers an opportunity to present legal arguments that highlight errors or violations that may have affected the fairness or outcome of the original case.

Navigating The Criminal Appeals Process

The criminal appeals process can be complex and requires a deep understanding of appellate law. It involves filing appropriate legal documents, conducting thorough research and presenting compelling arguments before an appellate court. The lawyer at SMC Law Firm will guide you through each step, ensuring that your rights are protected, and your case is presented effectively.

Determining whether you can appeal your case depends on various factors, including the jurisdiction, the nature of the conviction and the grounds for appeal. The attorney at SMC Law Firm will review the details of your case to determine the potential grounds for appeal and advise you of your options.
