The Steps Lowther | Walker Will Take to Appeal Your Conviction in the Colorado Court

Analyzing Your Conviction and Sentence to Determine Appeal Merit

The first step in our case analysis as federal appeals lawyers will be to review the decision of the court in detail and examine the court record for the following:

  • Procedural mistakes such as suppression of evidence
  • Violation of rights
  • Your sentencing does not meet the Federal Sentencing Guidelines
  • Errors of fact by lawyers or witnesses

 

Reviewing Transcripts to File a Compelling Appeals Brief
