New Jersey Criminal Appeals Lawyer

A person convicted of a crime has only one opportunity to appeal. Trials commonly involve disputes about many issues. Successful appeals, in contrast, almost always turn on a few, critical issues. It is essential, therefore, that appellate counsel have the experience and judgment to identify the best possible issues to raise on appeal.

The time within which to file an appeal can be quite short. In addition, the preservation of issues for appeal can sometimes require that other steps be taken, such as filing a post-trial motion in district or superior court. If you are considering an appeal, you need to understand as quickly as possible what steps must be taken to preserve all issues and to timely file your appeal.
