The Best Appellate Attorneys In Missouri

Our Law Firm has the Criminal Defense Lawyers to Navigate the Appeals Process

A successful appeal requires a distinct set of skills honed through dedicated appellate practice. The appellate process diverges significantly from trial procedures, posing unique challenges that even seasoned trial lawyers may not navigate effectively without specific appellate experience.

After an unfavorable trial outcome, it is crucial to engage an attorney whose expertise encompasses the nuanced demands of the appellate process. As your legal options narrow following a trial, each opportunity for appeal becomes vitally important. Choosing an attorney with suboptimal qualifications could jeopardize your chances of overturning the decision.

The manner in which your initial appeal is managed can significantly influence the outcome and may restrict options for subsequent appeals. An adept attorney will meticulously examine the trial record, identifying any procedural errors or oversights that could form the basis of a successful appeal. This thorough approach is essential to advancing your case effectively at the appellate level.

When it comes to defending appealing your case, the criminal defense attorneys of Rosenblum Schwartz Fry & Johnson have a proven track record of success. Our attorneys provide free initial consultations, accept credit cards and are available for evening and weekend appointments. Call our firm today at 314-862-4332 or send us a message through our online contact form, and we will respond to you as soon as possible.
