How Does the Criminal Appeal Process Work?

During the appeal process, we will find and expose all legal issues that may have been overlooked at your trial by your legal representative and the judge. After consulting us, we will scrutinize all available trial records on your trial, sentence or plea bargain. We will understand your case better by examining the exhibits provided at your trial, the motions filed and the transcripts of your trial. We start with crafting each legal issue in your trial after conducting extensive legal research as this is important when you are making a case for your appeal. We will make an exceptionally good legal brief for your appeal by carrying out extensive and comprehensive research and covering all points in your case.

Before submitting your appeal brief to the court, we will always run through very many drafts. This is to ensure that we cover all legal issues, case laws, incorporate all pertinent details and accurately put across your statement of facts (your version of events). We also go through many drafts to eliminate errors in grammar, paragraph structure and sentence structure. We do all this to come up with a formidable legal brief for use in your appeal case. Once we have a final copy, we will file an electronic copy with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. We will also ensure that a hardcopy of the brief gets to the Seventh Circuit.

What Happens After the Appeal is Filed?

After we have filed your appeal, the government will provide an answer to your brief. This will give us an opportunity to craft a reply attacking the position of the government prosecutor on your case. Each part of the appeal process is important and we give meticulous attention to each stage. Our attorneys have a wealth of experience when it comes to answering queries fielded by the judges of the federal appeals court.

Federal appellate courts have many differences with federal trial courts. In appeal courts, your lawyer gives an oral argument for a limited amount of time. During the sessions when they are giving an oral argument, your lawyer usually presents your appeal case to the judges and answers and queries they may have. However, oral arguments involve more than just answering questions. These sessions are also a time for your lawyer to convince the court on the merits of your case. They provide an opportunity for your attorney to gauge whether the judges who will determine your case think that you are raising sufficient legal grounds for an appeal in your brief. Any question asked by the judges is a golden chance for your attorney to help and persuade the judges to see the case your way. Our lawyers understand the importance of the oral arguments and they will be there at each step and stage persuading the court to see things your way.

The lodging of an appeal is daunting and confusing. During this process, do not walk alone. At the law firm of Eddington & Worley, we have the best legal experts who can provide guidance to you throughout the duration of your appeal and guarantee that you get the best chance at justice.
