Let Us Handle the Appeals Process
Sometimes courts make mistakes. Emotion, rather than the facts of the case, may sway juries. Certain witnesses have faulty memories concerning what occurred. There can be an admission of misleading evidence or testimony. And unfortunately, false allegations do sometimes lead to wrongful convictions.
