Even after a criminal case has concluded, the jury has reached a verdict, and the judge has determined your sentence, there is still hope. The criminal justice system is not without fault. Even today, with DNA evidence and more thorough requirements regarding physical evidence, defendants are wrongfully convicted or are sentenced too harshly. By working with a lawyer and filing an appeal, you can seek the post-conviction relief you need.

Filing an appeal may be exactly what you need to get a second chance at justice. While there are different reasons may warrant a defendant filing a criminal appeal in Michigan, the common factor is that the error or mistake must have been significant enough to impact the outcome of the case. For example, a serious violation of the defendant’s constitutional rights, the exclusion of evidence that should have been included, incorrect jury instructions, or alcohol/drug abuse by jurors may be causes for an appeal.

Michigan Appellate Attorney

Successfully filing a criminal appeal is no easy matter. An appellate attorney must have the legal knowledge and resources to fully investigate all aspects of the original trial and uncover evidence that shows it should be reviewed. You cannot appeal just any guilty verdict or sentence. There must be sufficient evidence that shows a significant error or mistake was made that resulted in: the trial court incorrectly applying the law or the judge or jury delivering a verdict that was not supported by the evidence.
