What is a DUI Appeal?
A DUI appeal is not a retrial but a process wherein a higher court reviews the decision of the lower court to determine whether legal errors that could have affected the outcome were made. It's an opportunity to challenge the legality of the conviction, not the facts of the case. The appeals process requires a keen understanding of appellate law and procedure, making it crucial to have an expert by your side.
With Fifield Law Firm PLLC, we diligently analyze your case, identifying areas where the court may have erred. Our dedication shines through as we work meticulously to construct a robust appeal, aimed at securing the best possible result for your unique situation.
The Criteria for Filing an Appeal
Not every DUI conviction is eligible for an appeal. There are specific criteria that must be met to pursue this legal recourse. The process demands that there be a claim of legal errors such as unconstitutional procedures, improper handling of evidence, or insufficient legal representation during the original trial.
We at Fifield Law Firm PLLC comprehend the intricacies of legal criteria for an appeal. Our specialized team rigorously evaluates all aspects of your initial trial to affirm if the grounds for an appeal exist. Bringing expertise and precision to the forefront, we establish the foundation for a successful challenge to your DUI conviction.
