Experienced Criminal Appeals Lawyer for Tennessee
When a person is convicted of a crime and they believe that mistakes were made over the course of their case, they may have the legal right to file an appeal to overturn or reverse the guilty verdict. In order to file an appeal, a person must present a valid reason as to why a judge and/or jury’s final decision was incorrect. A person will then have only a small time frame to file an appeal for a state conviction or federal crimes conviction.
If you or a loved one is convicted of a crime and would like to file a criminal appeal in a Tennessee or Kentucky appellate court, please contact Phillips Law, PLLC today. A Tennessee criminal appeals lawyer can meet with you during a confidential consultation to discuss your case. We are very familiar with both state and federal appellate laws and we can aggressively fight to have a wrongful conviction overturned.
