Appeals

Florida Appellate Lawyer

A guilty verdict is not necessarily the end of the story in criminal law. An appeal is often a defendant's last, best hope. An experienced, effective appellate lawyer's skills may mean the difference between the loss of freedom and a chance at a fresh start. If you or your family member has been convicted of a federal or state crime such as drug conspiracy, a white collar crime, a sex crime or a violent crime, one of the most important post-conviction strategies in your case may be an appeal.

Your Conviction Should be Eligible for Appeal

Have your criminal trial evaluated for a possible appeal by criminal defense and appeals attorney Clyde M. Taylor Jr. Schedule an initial consultation to discuss the various factors in your case which may indicate that an appeal is likely to be successful. The effectiveness of your legal counsel, the nature of the evidence presented, the makeup of the jury and the procedures followed by the judge are all worth scrutinizing. Remember, there are strict deadlines for filing an appeal.
