Criminal Appeals And Experience Criminal Defense Lawyers in NJ

Benedict & Altman, criminal law attorneys in NJ

Everyone convicted of a criminal offense has the right to appeal both the conviction and the sentence.  Appellate practice requires reviewing everything the judge and attorneys did in the trial court, and finding reasons why the client may not have received a fair trial or sentence.  Essentially, a successful appeal argues that the trial court made an error that prejudiced their rights.

In New Jersey State courts, appeals first go to the Appellate Division, then the New Jersey Supreme Court.

Federal appeals go to the Circuit Court of Appeals (New Jersey federal cases go to the Third Circuit), and then sometimes to the United States Supreme Court.
