When you are facing criminal charges, every decision is crucial. Even if you believe that your defense lawyer did a good job, you may want to consult with a different lawyer who can find better ways to represent you. Every defenselawyer has unique skillsets and you may find that taking a different course will result in a better outcome.
Criminal cases are multifaceted, so it is important to identify exactly what or who lead to a wrongful conviction. Do not assume that because the courts arrived at a verdict, you do not have any chance of a reprieve. There are various legal areas that can be explored, which could lead to the overturning of the verdict in your case.
Grounds of Appeal
The first step in fighting a wrongful conviction is establishing grounds of appeal. You need a lawyer who carefully considers every aspect of the case and any relevant arguments. Without sound grounds of appeal, a judge may reject your request.
Even if the grounds of appeal are accepted, they can represent the basis of your case in the eyes of the court. Choosing the wrong approach may provide opposing counsel with stronger arguments to uphold the conviction.
Witnesses Testimony & Dismissal of Evidence
An appeal lawyer will attempt to dispute witness testimony and have certain evidence dismissed. Both are strong elements of an original conviction, which means a new approach is often needed. If you are not confident that your current lawyer is up to the task, it is time to consider reaching out to a lawyer who can better represent your case.
