Federal Appeals Texas Attorney
Fighting for Justice in Complex Criminal Cases
A conviction in federal court doesn’t have to be the end of the road. At Guest & Gray, our experienced federal appeals attorneys are here to fight for your rights and pursue justice. With a deep understanding of federal appellate law, we specialize in navigating the complexities of the appeals process to give you the best chance at overturning an unfavorable decision or reducing your sentence.
What Does a Federal Appeals Attorney Do?
A federal appeals attorney reviews your case for errors in the trial process, evaluates the application of the law, and presents compelling legal arguments to a higher court. Unlike trial attorneys, appeals attorneys focus on legal briefs and oral arguments to challenge mistakes made during your trial, including improper evidence admission, procedural errors, or violations of constitutional rights.
At Guest & Gray, we combine meticulous research with skilled advocacy to present a strong case on your behalf.
How Much Time Do You Have to File a Federal Appeal in Texas?
In most cases, you must file a notice of appeal within 14 days of the judgment or sentencing in your case. Missing this deadline could forfeit your right to appeal, making it critical to act quickly and consult with an experienced federal appeals attorney as soon as possible.
