The Appeal process is one of the more complicated parts of the Court and Criminal Justice system in Pennsylvania. In some cases, you have a right to a de novo or new appeal where the burden remains with the police and the Commonwealth to proof you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt; and other cases where the judge will only consider legal errors made in the case. One thing is clear, there are specific time deadlines for filing an appeal and the deadlines are different for different types of appeals. Do not wait, speak to one of our experienced criminal defense lawyers the same day that you received notice of a negative decision. Contact us 24/7 at (610) 925-2500 or toll free at (888) 643-0006.

•· Appeals from Criminal Trial
•· Post-trial Motions
•· Withdrawal of Guilty Plea
•· Summary Trial Appeal
•· Appeal Nun Pro Tunc (untimely appeal requests)
•· License Suspension Appeal
An appeal can be made for a numerous reason depending on what kind of appeal is being made and may include such reasons as:
•· appeal as a matter of right
•· Errors by the Judge
•· Errors by your own lawyer
•· Sentencing Errors
•· Jury Misconduct
•· Perjury by a witness
Immediate Action is Required for an Appeal
When you are facing the prospect of a conviction or punitive action against you by the Court, time is essential to protect your rights including your appeal rights. In some cases, you have as little as ten (10) days to file an appeal. Do not wait. Contact an attorney immediately after you have been found guilty or have pled guilty. In some case, even a guilty plea can be overturned and you can pursue your rights to an acquittal or dismissal.
