Trials should reach a fair and reasonable outcome the first time. Unfortunately, judges and juries aren’t perfect. While most cases factor judicial discretion, there is a higher court that can review certain matters to ensure the law is followed as it was intended.
Based in Norman, TTSB Law helps clients throughout the Oklahoma City metro area pursue family, civil and criminal appeals. We are experienced with a wide variety of cases, and we will match the right attorney to your situation. While we do handle original appeals, we are also excellent in defending appeals if one has been filed against a ruling that was in your favor. If you have questions about the outcome of your case and your appeal options, or need appellate counsel to protect a judgment in your favor from being reversed on appeal, call us at 405-364-8300 for a consultation.
Common grounds for an appeal include:
When seeking an appeal, there is no second trial. There is no new evidence presented, and in a majority of appeals, neither you nor your appellate attorney will step-inside a courtroom. Instead, an appellate court reviews the decision of the original trial court. They do this by reviewing all evidence that was submitted to the trial court, reading the record from the trial court, and reading the arguments typed by your appellate counsel. Therefore, the documents you submit for your appeal, particularly the brief, will be a very important factor in your success on appeal. We can prepare a strong brief to either argue for an appeal or defend against one.
We can guide you through the appellate process and strengthen your chances of reaching the outcome you want.
It can be difficult to identify exactly what went wrong in your original case and to fix it through an appeal. Working with an attorney who has already filed and defended many successful appeals in Oklahoma may be critical.
