What Are The Elements Of Appealing A Conviction In Massachusetts?

When To Appeal

If you or someone you know has been convicted of a crime and sentenced, but you feel as though that person was wrongly convicted, or if a serious legal error has occurred, there are still options. Attorney Moraski knows and thoroughly understands the appeals process and will work with you to ensure that your appeal is handled with the utmost diligence and care. Many times, once convicted, people give up and feel that the system is too big an adversary. And they are right... If they go it alone. If you should win your appeal, think of the new lease on life you or someone you know could have.

What Is An Appeal?

An appeal is a request to a higher court to assess and modify the decision of the lower court. During an appeal, the defendant is able to challenge the sentence or the conviction itself.

What Happens If I Win My Appeal?

Typically, a successful appeal brings the case back to its initial stages. In some instances it can put an end to the case altogether.

The appellate process can be intimidating, but don't allow that to leave you feeling hopeless.
