WE CAN GET LEGAL AID UNDER THE ADVICE & ASSISTANCE SCHEME (where applicable) Please write to us or call for further details.
We can help! We can look through your case and provide you with an opinion on whether you have any merits in appealing. This work is time consuming and involves a thorough analysis of your case. Maybe there is now fresh evidence that has come to light which was not available at the time of your trial. All of this matters.
It can be a long and difficult task in overturning a conviction and those who have been wrongly convicted face a struggle to put the wheels of justice into reverse. It is so important that you and we work together as a team to ensure that we get things properly prepared and right before lodging any grounds for appeal. You will need a committed solicitor throughout this process.
Due to the time consuming nature of appeals against conviction, we only concentrate on the most serious cases where the client has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment of at least 10 years or more.
