AppealsHattiesburg and Brookhaven, Mississippi, Appeal LawyerSometimes, trials do not end in favor of the defendant, necessitating an appeal. At the Burghard Law Firm, PLLC, serving clients in Hattiesburg and Brookhaven, Mississippi, we not only prepare for any outcome in a trial, but also the possibility of filing an appeal. We have the experience to handle appellate cases for individuals who have been convicted and for individuals who want to appeal civil decisions. Criminal appeals are very similar to the practice of criminal law, but the process can take months or years. Your appeal may take awhile, but revisiting the case can provide us with the option for a better outcome. At the Burghard Law Firm, PLLC, we take a proactive approach to handling an appeal. During the initial trial, it is important for your attorney to create a record for appeal. That record needs to be as strong as possible. This occurs through objections to areas during the trial where possible errors were made by the court. That can preserve the right to appear at appellate court based on those very issues. We have represented clients who had another attorney representing them in the initial trial. In those cases, we filed an appeal based on the grounds that our client had not received effective counsel during the initial trial. A glaring area that should have been objected to was not. If you have a criminal conviction or civil decision that you want to appeal, we have the experience and track record of success in handling those cases.
