Florida Why Hire a Criminal Appeals Attorney
You have a constitutional right to have an attorney appeal your initial conviction. However, the appellate attorney assigned to you will be like a public defender, and using a court-appointed lawyer may not be your best option. If you hire your own criminal appeals attorney, you will be able to select a skilled and experienced attorney who knows how to handle your appeal.
