Chicago Appeals Attorney

Want to appeal?

An individual who has been found guilty of a criminal charge may suffer from serious disappointment. An experienced Chicago criminal defense lawyer understands that not everyone who is convicted of a crime is in fact guilty. Some cases even had serious evidentiary or procedural flaws and yet resulted in a guilty verdict. If you or a loved one has been found guilty of a crime, experienced an appeal attorney from the Law Offices of Michael P. Schmiege can provide the legal representation so crucial in the appeals process. In order to move forward with an appeal the criminal defense attorney must show the court, whether the federal court of appeals or the state court of appeals, that justice was denied in the original trial. There is a limit to the amount of time one has in which to appeal, so it is important to contact a knowledgeable appeals attorney from the firm without delay.
