Criminal Appeals

At The Law Office of Roel Elizalde Jr, PLLC, we understand that a trial’s outcome is not always the final word in your legal journey. The appellate process is a crucial aspect of the criminal justice system, offering an avenue for challenging and potentially overturning convictions. Specializing in criminal appeals, our firm is committed to providing diligent and strategic appellate advocacy for those who believe justice was not served in their initial trial.

Understanding the Appeal Process

The appeal process is fundamentally different from a trial. It is not about re-arguing the facts of the case but rather focusing on legal errors that may have occurred during the trial. These errors can include incorrect jury instructions, improper admission of evidence, or legal misinterpretations by the court. Our firm meticulously reviews trial records, identifying any such errors that could have impacted the verdict.

Crafting a Persuasive Appeal

Successful appeals require a deep understanding of the law and the ability to articulate complex legal arguments effectively. At The Law Office of Roel Elizalde Jr, PLLC, we excel in analyzing legal issues and crafting persuasive appellate briefs. Our approach combines rigorous legal research with compelling narrative, aiming to clearly present the reasons why the trial court’s decision should be reconsidered.
