Choosing Your California Appeals Attorney
When it comes to appealing your driving under the influence conviction, you don’t want to hire just anybody. California appellate law is a technical and complex field that requires an attorney who not only knows how to play this unique game but who also knows how to win it. And, quite honestly, it doesn’t matter whether you’re appealing your first-offense DUI conviction or a major controversial issue such as same-sex marriage or abortion rights, having a skilled California appeals attorney is essential to the appeal’s success.
California appeals are very different than California trials. As a result, a California appeals attorney must think (and argue) very differently than a trial attorney. The issues, rules, arguments, and judicial decisions that comprise California appellate law are exclusive to appellate law.
Make no mistake about it. If you don’t have a California appeals lawyer who is readily familiar with the rules and regulations that govern this very specific area of the law, your case will be in jeopardy. It doesn’t matter how strong your case is if your attorney doesn’t know how to present it effectively.
