Should I Pursue an Appeal in Michigan?

Many clients find the appeals process daunting, especially after suffering a conviction at their first trial. However, the appeals process offers you the opportunity to achieve an alternate, more favorable resolution to your criminal case. At Levine & Levine, we have been handling criminal appeals in the Michigan courts and federal courts since 1987. Our lawyers understand the appeals process, and we are prepared to use our vast foundation of knowledge and experience to help you.

In Michigan, you may file either an appeal by right or an appeal by leave. An appeal by right is when, after a conviction, you ask the appellate court to review your case. An appeal by leave is a type of appeal that the court has to approve and is used in situations in which the defendant initially pled guilty or when other restrictions disqualify the case from an appeal by right.
