Inadequate Representation Can Jeopardize Criminal Appeal Results

Choosing the wrong lawyer is a mistake that will directly affect your results in any criminal appeal. You need a lawyer who understands what it takes to win a Michigan appeal, and you need your representation to effectively explain the issues affecting your case so that you can make informed legal decisions. Grabel & Associates is experienced in Michigan criminal appeals, and our appellate court attorneys will effectively guide you through the appeals process.

Additionally, assuming your lawyer from initial court proceedings has the best shot at winning an appeal could hurt your results. Grabel & Associates will never trust solely preliminary information, and will exhaustively investigate the details of your case and uncover every detail that could help you in your Michigan appeal. By reviewing your case with “fresh eyes,” we give you the advantage of a second opinion from an attorney removed from the situation surrounding the original case. We work to build on the arguments made in initial court proceedings, and will structure a thorough, persuasive, appeal strategy.

Criminal appeals are extremely complex, and you need an exceptional attorney in order to improve your case result. We know that the Court of Appeals does not want to hear the exact same facts given to the lower court, rather new issues that have merit in your case. Our lawyers have mastered the tactics essential to criminal appeals, and will do everything possible to formulate the most convincing appellate argument. Contact Grabel & Associates now to benefit from high quality Michigan appeals representation.

Michigan Criminal Appeal Procedure

Understanding the requirements of the criminal appeal process and the rules of the appellate process is absolutely essential to a successful appeal. You need to adhere to the timeline set out for your appeals process, and it is important to work with a competent lawyer who will ensure you do not miss any deadlines.

Grabel & Associates is up to date with the current and changing court rules and knows which rules the Court of Appeals finds especially important.

At Grabel & Associates, we make sure you are aware of appellate rules, procedures, and deadlines, and will fill out documents and forms related to your appeal.
