Criminal Appeals

A conviction is not always the end of the story. If an error was made during your trial, you may have grounds to appeal your conviction or sentence. Our team will review every detail of your case to identify any legal or procedural errors and will fight to overturn wrongful convictions and reduce unjust sentences.

If you’ve been convicted of a criminal offence, timely action is critical to preserve your rights. Contact us today for a consultation.

  • A criminal appeal is a legal process where you ask a higher court to review a conviction or sentence from your trial. It is not a new trial, but an opportunity to challenge errors of law, procedure, or factual findings that led to an unfair result.

  • In most criminal cases, you must file a Notice of Appeal within 30 days of your conviction or sentencing. Missing this deadline can make it much harder to proceed, so it’s important to speak with a lawyer right away.

  • The appeal court can dismiss the appeal, order a new trial, change your sentence, or in some cases, overturn the conviction entirely. A skilled appeals lawyer can assess your case and build the strongest arguments for success.
