Frequently Asked Questions
What will my appeal be about?
Each case is like a snowflake: UNIQUE!
An appellate attorney will review the "record" looking for any arguable legal errors. The "Record" is the written composite of all the trial court proceedings including, for example, motions filed by the prosecutor and/or the defense attorney, transcripts of all substantive hearings and jury instructions.
Examples of legal errors include: prosecutorial misconduct, instructional error (errors in the jury instructions given or not given), and error in the admission or exclusion of certain evidence. There are a multitude of potential claims to bring in an appeal. An experienced appellate attorney with a trained eye should comb through your case to try to flesh out and argue any claim he or she can find that is viable.
