Criminal Appeal Lawyers

A wrongful conviction or sentence can be devastating. As a result, you may have lost your liberty and your career. Even relatively minor convictions can have grave consequences.

This is certainly true if you are a regulated professional or are in the public eye. Even more, any miscarriage of justice will have an immense impact upon your family. In such a situation you should consider challenging your conviction. At Garrick Law our lawyers have years of experience in successful criminal appeals.

We represent clients in criminal appeals across the full range of offences. This ranges from relatively minor offences up to conviction for murder, sexual offences, and terrorism. We deploy specialist counsel to review, identify and investigate where things went wrong in your case. From this, we will assess whether we can challenge a conviction or to reduce an unfair sentence. We can appeal cases from the Magistrates Court, Crown Court, Court of Appeal, The Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights.

Your team will assess every aspect of the decisions made around your case. We will consider legal issues as well as assessing the evidence from your original conviction. Successful criminal appeals often involve uncovering new evidence which was not adduced during the original proceedings, such as new forensic evidence. We have a broad range of expert contacts who can assist with this. Our team have particular experience in criminal appeals where there have been potential issues around disclosure of evidence, or where evidence was provided by a subsequently discredited expert witness.

We can offer video link meetings, which enables us to discuss matters without causing disruption to your already stressful situation. We ensure that we are candid and clear in our advice about the merits of the appeal. In this way we can avoid unnecessary costs. We set out the stages clearly, simply and concisely.
