It is very important that you contact a federal appeal attorney soon after
you received the unfavorable verdict. There is a statute of limitations
on federal appeals. In some cases, you may have even signed a document
waiving your right to appeal. Even if this is the case, you may still
be able to receive the benefits of your right to appeal. A consultation
with a lawyer at our law firm can give you an idea of the best course
of action.
What are the steps I will need to take?
An appeal is generally heard by judges selected at random from available
judges in that jurisdiction.
- You and your attorney will send a packet containing all the arguments of
both sides of the original trial to the appeals court.
- You will also send a written argument stating your reasons for appealing
the original judgment. These briefs are extremely important, because they
present your appellate case to the judges.
- Your lawyer may also be permitted to speak to the judges on behalf of your appeal.
