Criminal Appeals Attorney in Sacramento, CA

If you are seeking an appeal for your California criminal trial, hire a lawyer with an appellate court specialty who will command a fresh look at your case.

While it’s common for clients to believe their current attorney is best suited for an appeal since the attorney is already familiar with the case, the background and expertise required for a successful appeals case are quite different from the skills used when preparing a case for litigation.

The appeals court is your last stop for getting your conviction overturned or your sentence modified; it is essential that you have a dedicated, practical lawyer on your team with extensive experience in appellate law.

What A Skilled Appeals Lawyer Can Do For You:

  • Petition the appellate court to have your conviction overturned
  • Petition the court to grant you a new trial
  • Petition the court to grant you a lighter sentence

Jennifer Mouzis is a California appellate lawyer who will thoroughly evaluate your case and trial records to detect possible legal errors or mistakes that may have contributed to a wrongful conviction or sentence.

Examples Of Grounds For An Appeal In California:

  • Ineffective assistance of counsel
  • Jury misconduct
  • Prosecutorial misconduct
  • False arrest
  • Insufficient evidence
  • Exclusion of evidence
  • Improper admission of evidence
  • Newly discovered evidence
  • Sentencing errors

If errors are found, Jennifer Mouzis has the experience to dispute whether the issues provide justified grounds for an appeal and to present your case in a way that may convince the appellate court to overturn your judgment, grant you a new trial, or impose a different sentence.

In the state of California, there is a time limit in which you can file appeals. For misdemeanor cases, an appeal must be filed within 30 days of the original judgment. For felony appeals, this limit increases to 60 days.

In order to win your appellate case, it is crucial that you hire a qualified appeals lawyer quickly.
