Criminal Defense Appellate Attorney In North Carolina
Our Process
Generally, the criminal process on appeal focuses on
challenging or defending lower court decisions in
higher courts.
If you believe an error affected the outcome of your criminal case, you should contact an appellate attorney immediately. Generally, in criminal cases, you must start the appellate process no later than 14 days after an adverse decision is entered by the lower court.
An appellate attorney reviews trial records, identifies errors, prepares briefs, and represents clients in higher courts.
Depending upon the outcome, your case could possibly impact others in a positive way. Some criminal law cases are resolved in federal appellate court, and those results have the potential to impact people in multiple states at once.
The Chambers Law Office handles federal appeals in the Fourth and Ninth Circuits.
Appeal timelines vary by court and case complexity, but The Chambers Law Office can help guide you through each step of your criminal appeal so that you are updated accordingly.
