Las Vegas Criminal Appeals Attorney

Nevada State and Federal Appeals Lawyer

If you feel that a mistake in your trial resulted in a negative outcome in your case, you have the right to appeal the decision. Many people don't understand that an appeal is not a new trial. An appeal is the process of asking a higher court to confirm that an error was made and to order a new trial or an acquittal. These matters can be extremely complex. Be sure that you have an experienced Las Vegas criminal appeals attorney on your side from the start.

At the law firm of Wright & Weiner, Ltd., we handle all types of state and federal appeals. We are licensed to practice in the Nevada Supreme Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. We do appeals for our own clients as well as people whose original trials were handled by a different firm. Our experience with a wide variety of criminal cases puts us in a strong position to properly handle your appeal.

Creating the Strongest Possible Case for Your Appeal

To initiate an appeal, you must first file a notice of appeal form. You have an extremely limited time in which to file this form. If you miss the deadline, you forfeit your right to appeal forever. Our state and federal appellate attorneys will make sure that all deadlines are met, prepare and submit all appellate briefs and handle any necessary oral arguments associated with your case.

We also represent clients who are coming up for parole. We help you through the process while you are incarcerated and work with you to prepare for the parole hearing. We will help you understand how the process works and explain what you can do to maximize your chances of getting parole. If you or your loved one is incarcerated and has a parole hearing scheduled, talk to one of our attorneys today.
