Criminal Appeals

A “not guilty” verdict on all charges usually ends a criminal case. The prosecution cannot appeal a not guilty verdict once a defendant has been acquitted by a jury. A “guilty” verdict on some or all of the charges, however, does not mean that the case is over. Defendants who believe that they have been wrongfully convicted of a crime have a number of options, including filing post-trial motions, pursuing an appeal, or filing a petition for post-conviction relief. Attorney William Foreman has over fifteen years of experience handling a variety of post-verdict motions, appeals, and petitions for post-conviction relief including:

• Appeals in State Courts of Appeal
• Commutation and Clemency Proceedings
• Motions for Acquittal
• Motions for a New Trial
• Petitions for Post-Conviction Relief
• Petitions for Review to State Supreme Courts
• State Supreme Court Appeals

When facing criminal charges, it is important to hire a lawyer that has experience in court, as well as the ability to assess the unique characteristics of a case and help design a strategy for winning a case.
