Civil & Criminal Appeals

Michigan Civil and Criminal Appeals Attorneys

After a civil or criminal case has concluded, the outcome is often subject to intense scrutiny to overturn or defend a jury verdict. In certain situations, new evidence or additional information surfaces, allowing the possibility of a reversal or a new trial. In other instances, the trial court made errors in finding facts, applying the law, instructing the jury, or other matters, which can be corrected through the appellate process. Each experienced appellate attorney at THE WOLF LAW FIRM, which includes Thomas M. Slavin and Dana L. Ramsay, contribute to our firm's ability to represent clients in a range of civil and criminal appeals.

Our firm prides itself on our thoroughness of investigation and attention to detail. An appellate attorney at our office begins by examining all aspects of the original case to determine if an appeal is possible. We then investigate all possible reasons for the verdict to be overturned, such as legal malpractice, prosecutorial misconduct, or any exculpatory evidence that may have been overlooked, among others.

Our lawyers are extensively educated and highly knowledgeable about the appeals process and the use of computer aided legal research. We are comfortable in the courtroom and can effectively communicate your situation and the grounds for your appeal in oral argument before the appellate courts.

Not all cases are eligible for appeals. Decisions handed down through avenues of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) such as arbitration are legally binding and cannot be appealed. Also, our firm can determine and explain why an appeal is or is not in your best interests. An appellate attorney at our firm can help you weigh the legal, financial, and personal benefits and drawbacks of seeking a civil appeal or criminal appeal.
