Identifying Procedural Errors in Your Original Trial

Every trial and hearing presents a whirlwind of decisions made by the presiding judge — from determining which evidence can be presented to interpreting how the law is applicable. If a judge commits any errors during your trial, it could create a strong foundation for pursuing a criminal appeal.

An appeal can stem from a “plain error,” defined as a mistake that significantly impacted the defendant’s rights without needing to be explicitly raised during the trial. Identifying these plain errors is crucial, as they often serve as strong grounds for successfully contesting a conviction.

TheLaw Offices of Nabiel C. Ahmed have a proven track record of appealing cases that include:

  • DUI convictions

Not all firms possess the requisite skills to effectively challenge a criminal conviction.
