Salt Lake City Criminal Appeals Attorney

Utah Appellate Lawyer

Contact Greg Smith and Steven Russell, Criminal Law Attorneys

Appellate law requires a special combination of skills, aptitude and experience. A successful criminal appeal convinces a panel of judges from the Utah Court of Appeals to reverse a trial court's decision or a jury verdict. Good writing skills are essential, since an appeal is written, including many details and technical legal arguments. Oral advocacy is also important as each side of the appeal will have the opportunity to make oral arguments before the appellate court.

Our appellate lawyers at the law offices of Greg Smith and Steven Russell, Criminal Law Attorneys, successfully handle many appeals both for our own criminal defense clients and for clients whose cases were previously handled by other lawyers. As preparation for an appeal, we find it valuable to review every aspect of a previous trial through a fresh set of eyes.

An effective criminal appeal involves analysis of the entire criminal record of a trial, including court transcripts. Appellate lawyers marshal evidence, demonstrate and use knowledge of case law, engage in fruitful, relevant research and make strong arguments regarding errors of law at trial.

Our appeals clients benefit from our experience and knowledge of the courts and the law. We regularly advise other attorneys and share our insights with the public. Our opinions have been aired on Good Morning America and publicized in national newspapers such as USA Today.
