At the Law Offices of Freedman & Freedman, we are committed to helping clients throughout Wayne and Oakland Counties appeal their criminal convictions.

While not all people will qualify for an appeal, there are many circumstances that may warrant asking the court to reconsider the verdict.  Basically, if a legal error or mistake was made that was significant enough to impact the outcome of the case, an appeal should be sought.  Some circumstances that may warrant an appeal include:

• Your constitutional rights were violated
• Important evidence was excluded
• Evidence that was deemed inadmissible was allowed to be included
• Lack of sufficient evidence to support a guilty verdict
• New evidence has surfaced that may exonerate you
• The jury was given incorrect instructions by the judge
• Juror misconduct
• Lawyer/attorney malpractice
