Contesting the verdict
Judges can be wrong in their rulings. Innocent defendents receive unfair sentences on a regular basis and suffer needlessly. These wrongful convictions occur as the result of common mistakes made during your defense process. In many cases, your verdict can be reversed by a competent appeals attorney.
The legal system can be very intimidating. Many defendants will accept their sentences without question and endure a lifetime of injustice. At Morgan Law Firm we are skilled in finding potential causes for your inappropriate sentence. The criminal appeal process is designed to give defendants another chance to present their case in front of a higher court, such as the Alabama Supreme Court or Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.
We may be able to bring your case to a Higher Court
There are many good reasons to seek a criminal appeal. Some of the more common mistakes include:
- Defense evidence may have been excluded that should have been heard by the
- The court may have permitted the jury to hear prosecution evidence that should have been excluded;
- Unintentional errors by prosecutors or even intentional misconduct;
- Defense attorneys can make mistakes which deprive the defendant of the effective assistance of counsel.
Such actions provide sufficient reason for a higher Alabama or Federal court to overturn your conviction by way of the criminal appeal process.
At Morgan Law Firm we provide competent and professional representation on appeal of adverse decisions from civil, criminal, and post-conviction matters in both Alabama and federal courts.
