Columbus Appeals Attorney

Are you seeking post-conviction relief?

If you believe mistakes were made during your trial that resulted in a conviction, contact a Columbus theft crime attorney from experienced The Koffel Law Firm for legal advice. Your case may qualify for an appeal, which can result in a:

• New trial
• Decision reversal
• Modification of sentencing

When a person is found guilty of a theft crime or other criminal offense, they have a legal right to request that the next higher court review the decision. Appeals are granted based on procedural errors that occurred during the trial, such as evidence not being admitted during the trial that should have been allowed in court, errors made in the instructions to the jury and other legal issues that resulted in an unfair trial. When an appellate judge reviews the case, they will only evaluate the correctness of the verdict against violations of judicial laws and procedures that may have influenced the case's outcome. An appeal must be filed within a short period of time after your case has concluded. If your prior defense attorney made any mistakes that resulted in your conviction, it is imperative that you immediately request another legal firm to review your case and assist you with your appeal.
