Need To Appeal A Conviction? Let’s Talk About Your Case: 312-239-8292

Once you have received a criminal conviction from a court, you have the option of appealing this decision to a higher court. When you file an appeal, you are asking the higher court to review the decision of the lower court for any errors or misconduct that may have affected your case. You may be able to reverse your conviction.

Appealing A Conviction In Chicago

Not everyone has the right to an appeal. In most cases, only defendants who were convicted by a judge or jury in a trial have the right to appeal. If you pled guilty to the crime, you may not be eligible to appeal your conviction.

Valid reasons for an appeal include:

• Judicial misconduct
• Incorrect jury instructions
• Errors of law
• Improperly admitted evidence
• Insufficient evidence to support the verdict
• Ineffective assistance of counsel

At Pissetzky Law LLC, our criminal defense team meticulously looks through every detail of your case. We can comb through the trial transcripts, the prosecutor’s conduct, how evidence was obtained, and whether any bias existed to influence the outcome of the case.

It is often the little details that can make or break an appeal petition, and we are prepared to put in the time and effort into analyzing every element of your case.

If a higher court finds merit in your appeal, then they may:

• Reverse the conviction
• Order a new trial
• Or reduce the sentence
