Misdemeanor Appeals Attorney
Criminal defendants charged with misdemeanors do not have the right to a jury trial. Rather, these cases are heard in District Court. However, criminal defendants do have the right to a jury trial by appealing the case to Superior Court. If you have been convicted of a misdemeanor and want to appeal your case, contact me. I have appealed a number of misdemeanors in Superior Court and can help you appeal your case as well.
A large number of misdemeanor appeals are DUI appeals. I will review your case and determine whether or not your original judge made mistakes as to the legal issues in your case. Even if the case is not dismissed on evidentiary grounds, together we can try your case before a judge and jury. In every misdemeanor appeal, I will look for the best possible result, whether it is a dismissal of the charges or an acquittal at trial.
Helping People Who Have Been Accused of Violating Their Probation
Any person on probation must meet a number of requirements in order to remain on probation. For instance, you may have to regularly meet with a probation officer and pass drug and alcohol tests. If you have been accused of violating your probation, it is important to speak with an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. Judges have a great deal of power in cases involving probation violations, and they typically do not like to see probation violators appear before them. If you try to address this on your own, there is a good chance you will not improve your situation. On the other hand, I know what judges like to see in these types of cases. I can help you take control of your situation prior to your court date, and I can make a persuasive case to help keep you in probation and out of jail.
