Getting Justice After a Criminal Conviction - Davie Defense Lawyer
The criminal justice system is designed to provide justice at the trial level. Proving that justice was not provided at the trial level is a very challenging matter. The law firm of Michael Jay Wrubel is well positioned to meet that challenge.
With more than 30 years of experience on our side, we know the appellate process. We know how to find errors within the initial case. These errors can be used to undo a conviction entirely, such as in the case of Pennington v. State where Mr. Wrubel successfully argued before the Supreme Court of Florida that his client had to be set free from a fifteen year mandatory minimum drug trafficking conviction. What Errors Can be Grounds for an Appeal?
There's a wide array of possible grounds for an appeal. It is possible that an error at the trial level is fairly obvious. Perhaps improperly obtained evidence was allowed into court and used against you over the objections of your original criminal defense lawyer. However, more often than not, errors are subtle and involve the various technical rules of evidence, criminal procedure and the court. Errors can involve the rules governing jury instructions, the makeup of the jury or the procedures followed by the judge amongst many others.
The key is that an appellate attorney must be able to scour the details of the trial record in order to find those errors. This is what we do. We know how to provide post-conviction relief.
Appeals in All Types of Criminal Cases
Our law firm is able to appeal convictions for all crimes, including:
- Drug charges, such as drug possession, drug distribution and drug trafficking
- Violent crimes, such as domestic violence, armed robbery and assault and battery
- Theft charges, such as shoplifting and burglary
- White collar crimes, such as embezzlement, identity theft and fraud
- Murder, as well as manslaughter and vehicular manslaughter
Unlike initial criminal cases, an appeal doesn't become more challenging based on the severity of the crime. The challenge is based on the amount of detail involved and how much review must be done in order to find the errors and present them to an appellate court. No matter how challenging an appeal may seem, we can handle it.
