Florida Federal Criminal Defense Attorney focusing on the defense of white collar crimes.

State Felony Appeals

State felony appeals occur when the convicted felon wishes to contest his or her verdict in state court. After filing a petition for appeal, a judge decides whether or not the case merits appellate review. Then, both sides of the case file written briefs with the judge, who can render a new verdict and/or overturn a guilty verdict.

Those who are still unhappy with their verdict have the option of taking their appeal to a higher court after it has been lost; however, this process is costly and there are increasing barriers as higher and higher courts are sought.

Given the complexity and specialized nature of the appellate system, it is vital that convicted felons wishing to appeal their case contact an experienced appellate attorney as soon as possible after their guilty verdict.
