We Handle Any Type Of Criminal Appeal in Georgia

Our justice system is made up of all sorts and levels of government workers — police officers, prosecutors and judges, just to name a few. The people who occupy those positions are not just titles, however — they are people who can make mistakes in their jobs. This can have a serious, and unfair, impact on those who find themselves trying to navigate the justice system.

Every case is different, of course, but circumstances that could lead to a successful appeal may include:

• Misconduct by a judge or prosecuting attorney
• Procedural errors
• Improper searches and illegal collection of evidence
• Other mistakes made by judges regarding the evidence, trial, jury instructions or other factors
