Appeal Lawyer in Atlanta, GA
When mistakes happen in court that cause you to lose at trial, you are generally entitled to appeal the decision in the Georgia court of appeals or the Georgia Supreme Court. In order to successfully appeal a decision, you must prove that an error occurred that affected the outcome of your trial; this error may have been on the part of the judge, the jury, or even your attorney. No matter how obvious your appeal seems to be, it is important to hire a lawyer with experience in the appellate court system so that further mistakes are not made that can inhibit your ability to appeal.
To appeal your conviction, you generally must make your case without the assistance of additional witnesses or evidence. This requires experience and skill. Remember, the appellate court system is different than the regular court system. Hiring an attorney that is familiar with the procedural nuances and expectations of the appellate court is of utmost importance to the success of your appeal.
At David West & Associates, we are extremely familiar with both the Georgia court of appeals and the Supreme Court of Georgia. We will thoroughly review your court record for procedural errors, advise you of your options and help you choose the best strategy for appealing an earlier conviction. We’ll utilize habeas corpus, petitions for certiorari, motions for new trials and other legal means to file an appeal on your behalf and get your conviction overturned.
