Criminal Appeals

When a trial verdict threatens your freedom or future, the appellate process offers a critical path to justice. Our appellate practice focuses exclusively on reversing or modifying unfavorable criminal convictions through meticulous legal analysis and persuasive advocacy.

We understand that appellate law demands a different skill set than trial work. While trial attorneys must think on their feet, appellate attorneys must craft compelling written arguments that withstand the scrutiny of Oregon’s most experienced judges. We excel at identifying reversible errors, challenging improper jury instructions, and articulating complex constitutional violations.

Every appeal begins with an exhaustive review of the trial record. We analyze thousands of pages of transcripts, exhibits, and pre-trial motions to uncover errors that affected the outcome. Our appellate briefs are meticulously researched and elegantly written, designed to persuade appellate judges that justice must be done.

Our appellate experience spans the Oregon Court of Appeals, and the Oregon Supreme Court. We have successfully reversed convictions involving evidentiary errors, prosecutorial misconduct, and constitutional violations.
