Dallas Federal Appeal Lawyers
Dallas-Fort Worth Criminal Defense Attorneys
Federal appeals often involve strict technical requirements and complex procedures. Few attorneys have the experience it takes to bring a successful federal appeal. If you are considering appealing your district court verdict, you want a lawyer who knows the federal courts and will take every step necessary to bring a strong appeal.
As a former prosecutor, military judge and U.S. Marine Corps officer, Dallas federal appeals attorney Patrick J. McLain understands what it takes to win a fight in federal court. He is able to handle appeals before multiple federal appeals courts, including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Building Your Federal Appeal
An appeal is very different from a trial. Unlike trial, the fact record is already in place. An appeal is not the time to challenge the facts but to challenge the actions of a judge, jury or attorney. Also unlike trial, an appeal is done almost entirely in writing.
Our law firm will examine your case and look for any problems that would call for a new trial or support a different outcome. These may be constitutional issues (such as search and seizure) that were overlooked at trial, key evidence that was wrongfully dismissed by the judge, new evidence that proves your innocence, or other errors.
Should you appeal your conviction? Your future is on the line. Whether you have been convicted of a federal drug crime, white collar crime or another federal offense, an appeal may be your only chance to salvage your freedom. Our law firm can help you determine your chances of success on appeal.
