The Appeals Process

Criminal appeals are time-sensitive. After a conviction, you only have 30 days to file a Notice of Appeal with the Court. Your attorney will then need to request the transcripts of the proceeding and prepare a briefing that explains the mistakes made during your trial. You will receive a response from the government and have the chance to reply to that response. In some cases, your attorney may have the opportunity to present your appeals case in an oral argument in front of the Court of Appeals. A decision will then be reached.
