Chandler Appeals Lawyers

Are you searching for an Appeals attorney in Chandler, AZ? If you are looking for an appeal attorney, things, unfortunately, didn’t go as you had hoped. However, rest assured there may be relief on appeal. A qualified and experienced appellate lawyer may be able to either get a conviction set aside resulting in a new trial or to secure a new sentencing hearing. In some cases, an appeal could result in a dismissal of all charges.

Generally speaking, there are two main avenues of approach to challenge what happened at the trial level. The first is exercising the constitutional right of appellate review. Unless this constitutional right to appeal is knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived, all criminal defendants have the right to ask a higher “appellate” court to review what occurred at the trial level.

After a trial, common errors raised at the appellate court could include jury selection issues, jury instruction issues, juror misconduct, evidentiary issues involving the admission or exclusion of relevant evidence, prosecutorial misconduct, erroneous judicial decisions, failure to suppress unconstitutionally obtained evidence, or erroneous sentencing decisions. The Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm has extensive experience with all these issues.

Before appellate issues can be raised, a notice of appeal must be timely filed. After the notice of appeal is filed, a properly written and persuasive appellate brief must be filed. Often such issues will need to be effectively argued at the appellate court. The attorneys at the Attorneys For Freedom Law Firm have extensive experience in all aspects of appellate litigation and have repeatedly achieved successful results for our clients.

In cases where a defendant entered a plea to a judge rather than proceeding with a trial, the right to appeal is usually waived as a term of the plea agreement. However, post-conviction relief, also known as Rule 32 in the state court, may still be possible. The waiver of appeal, if valid, does not generally waive all appellate rights. As such, there may still exist several possible grounds to attack either the judgment or the sentence in a Rule 32 post-conviction relief proceeding.

Possible causes for appeal could be:

  • Improper Jury Instructions
  • Improper Jury Selection
  • The Evidence in the Case
  • Motion to Suppress Denials

After researching events of refused coverage by USCCA (I should have read the fine print to begin with), who obviously has decided they're judge and jury, and want's you to pay them back if you loose your case, I dumped them and happy to be here instead. People please beware of USCCA.

A small group of us recently signed up for a group membership with Attorneys on Retainer, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. James Belcher was incredibly helpful—he walked us through the process, answered every question, and got us a fantastic group rate. His support made everything smooth and stress-free.

AOR stands out in a big way. As individuals choosing to exercise our Second Amendment rights and look out for one another, it’s crucial to have real legal protection—especially in more tyrannical states like New Jersey. One of the biggest selling points for us was that AOR now includes coverage for red flag laws, which is a huge deal here.

The peace of mind that comes with being able to call an attorney directly, without worrying about exclusions or fine print, is invaluable. AOR doesn’t make you jump through hoops or hope your case is “perfect” enough for coverage. They’re straightforward, committed, and reliable.

If you’re a gun owner—especially in a state where the laws seem designed to trip you up—get this coverage. You won’t find anything else like it.

As a firearms instructor, I can feel confident in recommending my students and community to reach out to James Belcher as a great point of contact to get the professional and friendly service to seek the legal protection needed for the "after self-defense" defense. Thank you James 🫡
