In legal terms, an appeal is filed when an unsuccessful party (prosecution or defense) in case requests a review of a final decision made by their state’s highest court or the federal court of appeals. The appeal process can vary with the amount of time you are allowed to file an appeal depending on your individual case. With a vast variety of different cases settled each year in the United States, both state and federal appeals require documentation and evidence to be filed properly and timely.
There are different types of cases in civil, criminal and bankruptcy disputes, and said cases can often be very demanding for attorneys. It’s important for your legal counsel to be well informed on the proper steps of appealing a court case’s decision.
