Introduction

Experienced Representation in Criminal Appeals

If you have been convicted or sentenced in the Magistrates’ Court, you may have a right of appeal to the Crown Court. This usually involves a rehearing of the case before a judge and magistrates. We can:

Advise you on the merits of an appeal against conviction or sentence
Review the evidence and identify grounds of appeal
Prepare your case for a full rehearing
Represent you throughout the appeal process

An appeal to the Crown Court can result in a conviction being overturned or a sentence being reduced.

Appeals to the Court of Appeal

More complex appeals are dealt with by the Court of Appeal. These cases require detailed preparation and properly identified legal grounds. We work closely with specialist counsel to:

Assess whether there are arguable grounds of appeal
Advise on fresh evidence where relevant
Prepare applications for leave to appeal
Ensure all procedural requirements are met

The Court of Appeal will only grant permission where there is a real prospect that the conviction is unsafe or the sentence is wrong in principle.

Sentence appeals

If you accept the conviction but believe the sentence imposed is too severe, you may be able to appeal against sentence. We will:

Advise on whether the sentence falls outside the appropriate range
Identify any errors in the sentencing approach
Prepare and present arguments for a reduced sentence

Strict time limits apply to sentence appeals, so early advice is essential.

Clear advice and prompt action

Appeals are subject to tight deadlines and require a focused approach. We provide clear, realistic advice on your prospects and act quickly to ensure that your application is properly prepared and submitted on time.
