Do Not Suffer For Your Lawyer’s Mistake

We will often find that one, simple, overlooked fact that can turn the tide for you. We take pride in building strong cases and getting our clients through the hardest times of their lives.

Appeals: Why They Happen And What You Need To Do

An appeal is the process in which a case goes to a higher court to be reviewed before a new judge for any mistakes made in the original trial. For example, if your case was before a judge in Winston-Salem, on appeal it goes to the North Carolina court of appeals, then the North Carolina Supreme Court and then to a federal appeals court. Some common reasons for needing an appeal are:

• Your lawyer made a mistake in arguing your case.
• You took a plea deal that was detrimental to you
• The evidence against you was questionable

There are definitely other reasons, but whatever the reason for your appeal it is very important to understand that there is a time limit:

• You must file your appeal within 14 days of your conviction.
