Criminal Appellate Attorneys

The criminal appeal lawyers at our firm are experienced in handling federal appeals. This is brought by the fact that we know how it can be disheartening to a family if one of its members is to be sent to prison by the state. Thus, criminal appeals should be pursued with vigilance. Criminal defense is similar in all states in the United States because the criminal laws of the country are governed by federal laws. There are various reasons why a person may be sent to jail for a crime. One reason can be because of being a felony offense or arrest or indictment. Violation of state and federal criminal laws and committing crimes are also grounds for arrest and sentencing. Our criminal defense appeal attorneys are familiar with the several ways on how to help the clients win felony appeals. If the client is detained by state authorities, we can post-custody on bond for the release of the client.

At the end of a trial, you can make a direct appeal to the judge to overrule the jury’s decision. But this route is risky because rarely will the judge grant such an appeal. The better and more common option is to petition your criminal conviction or sentence in a higher court.

Note that the appeal can be filed only after the trial court has passed the final judgment or order. This is to prevent delays that can arise from waiting for appeals on every ruling made by the judge.

Prospective clients always want to know whether appealing is akin to a retrial. The short answer is no; in a state or federal criminal appeal, your Brownstone criminal appeals lawyers will attack the order or judgment of the court on some legal grounds. That is, the facts presenting during the trail won’t be reopened, rather your criminal appeal attorneys will raise the legal errors arising that may have risen in the state or federal trial court in question.

You can appeal the conviction or the sentencing. For instance, if you have been convicted of securities fraud, but sentenced to a harsh prison sentence that you believe to be unreasonable, you can appeal only the prison term and let the conviction remain.

Members of the legal fraternity can give testimony that the Supreme Court appeals rules and procedure are quite complex when compared to the trial court proceedings. For instance, tight deadlines have to be followed in each stage of filing for a petition or else the case is inadmissible. A practical example is a motion of habeas corpus which has to be filed within one year and three months from the date of conviction. Defendants who are keen on winning their appeals, therefore, don’t have an option but to look for criminal appellate attorneys who are highly experienced and know what they are doing.

Criminal Appeals Opinions 

United State of America v. Victor Stitt (Criminal Appeals)(2018)

Case No. 17-765

Respondents Victor J. Stitt and Jason Daniel Sims were each convicted in federal court of unlawfully possessing a firearm, in violation of 18 U. S. C. §922(g)(1).  The sentencing judge in each case imposed the mandatory minimum 15-year prison term that the Armed Career Criminal Act requires for §922(g)(1) offenders who have at least three previous convictions for certain “violent” or drug-related felonies, §924(e)(1).  The Act defines “violent felony” to mean, among other things, “any crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year . . . that . . . is burglary.”  §924(e)(2)(B).  Respondents’ prior convictions were for violations of state burglary statutes—a Tennessee statute in Stitt’s case and an Arkansas statute in Sims’ case— that prohibit burglary of a structure or vehicle that has been adapted or is customarily used for overnight accommodation.  In both cases, the District Courts found that the state statutory crimes fell within the scope of the federal Act’s term “burglary.”  The relevant Court of Appeals in each case disagreed, vacated the sentence, and remanded for resentencing.  Read more about this Supreme Court criminal appeal by clicking here: Supreme Court Criminal Appeals

Koons v. United States of America (Criminal Appeals)(2018)

Case No. 17-5716

The five petitioners pleaded guilty to drug conspiracy charges that subjected them to mandatory minimum sentences under 21 U. S. C. §841(b)(1). Before imposing their sentences, the District Court calculated their advisory Guidelines ranges. But because the top end of the Guidelines ranges fell below the mandatory minimums, the court concluded that the mandatory minimums superseded the Guidelines ranges. After discarding these ranges, the court departed downward from the mandatory minimums under 18 U. S. C. §3553(e) to reflect petitioners’ substantial assistance to the Government in prosecuting other drug offenders. In settling on the final sentences, the court considered the relevant “substantial assistance factors” set out in the Guidelines, but it did not consider the original Guidelines ranges that it had earlier discarded. After petitioners were sentenced, the Sentencing Commission amended the Guidelines and reduced the base offense levels for certain drug offenses, including those for which petitioners were convicted. Petitioners sought sentence reductions under §3582(c)(2), which makes defendants eligible if they were sentenced “based on a sentencing range” that was later lowered by the Sentencing Commission. The courts below held that petitioners were not eligible because they could not show that their sentences were “based on” the now lowered Guidelines ranges.
