Appeal Lawyers for Criminal and Civil Cases
Whether the McConnell Law Firm represented you in a recent case or you were working with another attorney, if the outcome was not what you desired, an appeal may be the best option. In both criminal and civil cases, an appeal is often possible.Why Choose the McConnell Law Firm
When an appeal of a criminal conviction or civil ruling is needed, it’s important to work with highly skilled appeal lawyers. Often, the attorney who represented you previously will not have the experience or fortitude necessary to win an appeal.
The appeal lawyers of the McConnell Law Firm fight tirelessly to win appeals related to:
- Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
- False Sexual Accusations
- Traffic Law
- White Collar Crime
- Criminal Defense
- Civil Litigation

What to Expect
One of our receptionists or legal assistants will gather information about your case, which will usually take no more than 30 minutes. If your case is within our practice areas, they will schedule a free office or telephone conference with one of our appeal lawyers. Even if your case is not within our practice areas, we will still do our best to help you with a referral!
During or following the first phone call, we will likely request some additional information. This will be your “homework” to gather, which will help us when it comes time to research the situation and specific laws that pertain to the case.
At the first appointment (preferably in person, but can be over the phone), you will meet with an appeal lawyer for approximately one hour. During this appointment, you will be presented with an analysis of the situation, recommendations for next steps and a list of anything further that we might need.
We will enter into a contract with you and you will make your first payment or pay a retainer fee. Once these steps are completed, we will officially begin the process of serving as your legal team. We will keep you informed at each step of the way.
