Greg Prosmushkin

Appeals Lawyer Trenton

If you do not believe justice has been served by the verdict of a previous case, whether it be in a civil or criminal case, you have the right to appeal the decision. While appeals are available in both civil and criminal cases, the nature of them varies between the two. If you were the plaintiff in a civil case, and feel that you did not receive the damages that you deserved, you may appeal for a higher amount. On the other hand, if you were the defendant, and feel you have been obligated to pay more than is fair in damages, your appeal can also be heard. The arguments for these types of appeals have to be very solid, as it is difficult to reverse a ruling that has already been made in a court of law. If you feel your case is qualified for an appeal, please Contact Us for a consultation.

Appeals can also be heard for rulings in a Criminal Case. One type of appeal is made when evidence is found at a later date that proves the innocence of the convicted party. There are also appeals that challenge the very laws that led to the conviction in a case. These cases are complex and difficult because they attempt to change the very fabric of the legal system which is currently in place. If you feel that you have been wrongly or unjustly convicted of a crime, we can provide you with sound legal advice and counsel.
Losing a trial can seem like the end of the world. One important thing to be aware of is that everyone involved in the legal system is human; juries, judges, and attorneys are all liable to making mistakes. If you believe that your case was wrongly decided, one of our experienced attorneys can help evaluate your case and look for the possibility of appeal.

Trial lawyers and appellate lawyers often in cases have vastly different sets of skills. Trials require a lawyer to be well versed in the courtroom and able to make a strong case to jurors. These types of attorneys need to be conscious of rapidly approaching deadlines and be extremely meticulous when it comes to negotiations with opposing counsel. In contrast, appeals often require large amounts of research, writing, and arguing legal doctrines before a judge. In the case that you are looking to appeal, it would be in your best interest to consult with one of our appellate attorneys.

Success in an appellate court requires an attorney with an eye for detail, as well as knowledge of the complicated laws and procedures that are required in this specific court system. When our attorneys handle a case at appellate court, we make sure we are well prepared and are able to deflect the often disconnected barrage of questions from jurists.
