Were You Unfairly Convicted? Exercise Your Right to Appeal.

Skilled Appellate Advocacy by the Law Office of Charles C. Cosby, Jr.

The criminal justice system moves quickly. Unfortunately, mistakes can be made in this system. Erroneous applications of law, mistakenly admitted evidence, prosecutorial misconduct and the purposeful or inadvertent withholding of exculpatory evidence may be grounds to appeal a trial court verdict. Time is of the essence, however. If you are interested in pursuing an appeal, you need to act quickly to meet filing deadlines and preserve the trial court’s record and evidence.

Whether you are interested in appealing a conviction for a drug offense, homicide, malicious wounding, theft, sex crime, or some other serious crime, it is important to understand that appellate representation requires an entirely different skill set than trial court advocacy. Lawyers handling criminal appeals must be able to build a case around the trial court transcripts and record and be able to persuasively argue for a reversal of the prior court’s decision. An appeal is an uphill battle, as a judge or a jury has already made an adverse decision.
