Just because you have been found guilty does not mean that your case is over. In fact, you may have the right to appeal your conviction and sentence. Even if you have pleaded guilty, you may be able to challenge your sentence under certain conditions. After being convicted of or pleading guilty to a federal crime, many individuals want a fresh set of eyes to review their case and to determine whether there are reasons why the Court of Appeals should either reverse the conviction or reduce the sentence imposed by the judge.
Unlike at a trial, on appeal, the issue in an appeal to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals generally is whether the trial court made a legal error that affected the verdict or the sentence in your case. If the mistake was important, the conviction or sentence may be reversed, or a new trial could be awarded. Or, if the Judge made other errors, you could be entitled to a new sentencing hearing or the sentence could be reduced. But fresh eyes can make all the difference. That is why it is so critical to hire an attorney who understands the law relating to appeals and the procedures that apply to these cases.
