We hope our legal system will always get things right. However, the reality is that mistakes are made. Unfortunately, there is always the risk that judges, juries, or attorneys can get things wrong.
One of the great things about our legal system is that it recognizes this possibility and allows for appeals. If you, your loved one, or your business lost a civil or a criminal case in federal court, you may be wondering what the next step is. If you, your loved one, or your business won a civil or a criminal case in federal court, you may be wondering how to defend your win against an appeal.
How do you appeal a federal judgment? How long do you have to file a federal appeal? How much does it cost to file an appeal? How long does an appeal take to be decided? What are the chances of winning a federal appeal? Should you take an appeal? These are just some of the questions an experienced appellate attorney should be able to answer for you.
