Dallas Criminal Appeal Lawyers
Dallas-Fort Worth Conviction Defense Attorneys
Far too often, an attorney fails to effectively represent his or her client, or a judge or jury makes a wrong decision. If you lost your case at trial, you have a choice to make: should you appeal it?
The attorney you have on your side can make all of the difference in your case. Dallas criminal appeals attorney Patrick J. McLain is a former prosecutor and retired judge who has more than 20 years of legal experience. He is joined by Jeffrey C. King, also a former prosecutor and dedicated criminal defense lawyer. Both attorneys are well-prepared to handle your appeal.
Appeals are very time sensitive. In both federal and state courts, there is a specific timeline that you must follow or you will lose your right to appeal. If you are considering appealing your case or your loved one's conviction, contact a Dallas criminal appeal lawyer immediately.
What Does It Take to Win an Appeal?
Whether you will succeed in appealing your conviction depends on many factors. What evidence is missing? Did your trial attorney do something wrong? Did the jury act improperly? Did the prosecutor withhold evidence? Oftentimes, the most effective appeal isn't an appeal that attacks a judge's actions (such as denying motions) but one that attacks the work done by a trial attorney (such as lack of effectiveness).
Our law firm will talk to witnesses and jurors and review the court record to determine if the case was effectively tried at trial. Then, we will use that information to build the strongest appeal we can for you.
