Crown Court Appeals
Criminal Appeals
Representation and Advocacy in the Crown Court Appeals
When a person is convicted in the Magistrates or Youth Court then a right of appeal arises in the Crown Court.
The appeal must be lodged within 15 days of the Conviction or Sentence in the lower court.
A conviction appeal takes the format of a full rehearing before the Crown Court who will hear the evidence and determine the appeal.
If you seek to challenge sentence you will need to persuade the Court that the sentence was manifestly excessive that is to say too severe in accordance with the guidelines the court operates under or where the totality of different sentences combined together are excessive. A sentence that is severe or harsh will not usually be grounds for an appeal.
We are experienced in pursuing appeals to the Crown Court and can offer assistance on:
- Conviction Appeals
- Sentence Appeals
- Applying for public funding for appeals
- Privately paid appeals
- How to pursue an appeal out of time
- Bail pending appeal
Getting the right advice at the earliest opportunity is essential so please contact us as soon as possible if you need help.
