Understanding the Standards for Challenging a Ruling
Attorney James C. Campbell has handled appeals throughout the nearly 24 years of his career. He is very familiar with the procedures that apply to appeals in Florida's First District.
Whether your case is classified as family, criminal or civil, the appeals process is governed by the same standard. Your attorney must allege, based on the record of the trial, that the trial judge made an error in interpreting or applying the law. The appeals court will then evaluate that argument.
You cannot appeal findings of fact made by a jury. You can, however, appeal the instructions given to the jury by the judge, which may have influenced the jury to view the facts in the wrong legal light.
Contact us to get skilled legal representation in your criminal, family or civil case from an attorney who is fully prepared to appeal the outcome if necessary.

Attorney James C. Campbell is experienced at examining the factual records of a case and the files maintained by other lawyers in order to effectively handle family, criminal and civil appeals. |
