If you have lost your case at trial, you have the right to appeal. BUT your right to appeal depends on filing the proper paperwork. Don't wait to contact a Colorado Appellate Lawyer. The clock is ticking on your ability to file your case.
There are times when criminal cases go bad, and that’s when you need to hire a criminal lawyer who has extensive appellate representation skills.
Just what does appellate representation mean? In a nutshell, it is the art of looking at the original case and all the documents, court papers and the decision, to find out if the law in the case was applied correctly. This is painstaking and exacting work and you will need an attorney who is detail oriented and has the skills to track down all aspects of the law that apply to your case. Unlike a trial, an appeal is where a Court hears legal arguments, rather than a jury listening to facts. Thus, an appellate brief is where you, through your attorney, argue to the Court that the trial Court made a mistake in the application of the law.
We strive to take those cases where we have the opportunity to work one on one with our clients. Appellate representation requires a tremendous amount of time to conduct legal research and to write the appellate brief.After the research is conducted and the brief is submitted, the Court will often request oral arguments. Oral arguments are where the attorneys argue the law to the Court. As with any case, proper time and resources are needed to ensure that the case is presented and argued with skill.
We diligently strive to follow every ethical line of attack available under the law. While our cases may be complex, we leave no stone unturned on the quest for justice for our clients.
