Private Criminal Appeals Lawyers
As Featured In
Understandably, if you have been wrongfully convicted or are facing a lengthy prison sentence, this can put your life on pause. While it may seem like your future is on the line, it is important to remember that the court’s decisions on sentencing and convictions do not have to be final. Our appeals lawyers have a proven track record of successfully overturning convictions and reducing sentences.
From arguing that the decision was unfair and that the law was incorrectly applied to finding new evidence, our criminal defence specialists will guide you throughout the appeals process. With our legal assistance, you can clear your name or secure a lighter sentence. We can also help you appeal confiscation orders that have been made to prevent you from financially benefiting from an alleged crime.
If your case was heard by the Magistrates’ Court, we can help you appeal to the Crown Court. Similarly, if your case was dealt with in the Crown Court, we can help you appeal to the Court of Appeal. In some cases, your appeal may be dealt with by the European Court of Human Rights, the Criminal Cases Review Commission or even the Supreme Court. No matter the situation, our appeals solicitors are not intimidated and will be by your side every step of the way.
When fighting your right to appeal, swift action is crucial. Call our criminal appeal solicitors in London, Birmingham and Northampton on 0300 303 2071 to arrange an initial no-obligation consultation or send an email to info@witansolicitors.co.uk.
