When you hired your lawyer and went to court, you hoped for the best, but if the judge made errors or the lawyer dropped the ball on your case and you lost you have a real chance to challenge the judgment or sentence. An appeal looks at what the Judge or the other side did or did not do and another Court examines what happened at trial and look to see if there was enough error to grant a new trial. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER IS YOU HAVE SO LITTLE TIME TO FILE AN APPEAL- 30 days from the Judgment or Sentence date There are many reasons for appeal: – The judge gave an illegal sentence – The judge was prejudiced against you, your lawyer or your case – The Judge ruled wrongly on your lawyers efforts to win your case – The judge did not follow the law – The prosecutor or the other side was overstepping his duties or made comments that angered or confused the jury – The Judge ordered improper jury instructions be used Call Guy Seligman, your Florida criminal appeals...
