Criminal Appeals

Even if your felony criminal trial ended with a guilty verdict, and a substantial fine or lengthy sentence, there is still hope for a successful outcome. The criminal justice system is not infallible, and it does not work perfectly in every instance. Criminal trials are usually fast paced, dynamic, and unpredictable. Serious errors do sometimes occur that adversely affect the outcome of the trial and result in an unreliable or unjust verdict. Examples of these errors include structural errors in the trial itself, erroneous rulings on pretrial motions, erroneous rulings admitting or excluding critical evidence, and erroneous jury instructions.

David E. Stanley APLC, has the experience, extensive knowledge, and high level of skill required to appeal the verdict and sentence to a higher court for legal and equitable relief. Don’t ever give up. Exhaust all legal avenues available to you to correct the errors that adversely affected the verdict in your case.

Expungement

A felony criminal conviction can make it difficult for you to obtain employment, a TWIC card, or secure affordable housing. Even if your felony criminal charge was dismissed before trial, or you were found not guilty at the conclusion of your trial, your arrest record is still available and may show up when potential employers or landlords conduct a routine criminal background check on you.

Expungement is the process of having your record sealed, so that it may not be viewed by the general public, including most private employers and landlords during a criminal background check. It does not destroy your criminal record but protects it from being accessed by the public, most potential employers or private landlords. However, there are groups that will still be able to access it even after it is expunged typically for public safety, professional licensing, or regulatory reasons.
