Criminal Appeals
A criminal conviction or harsh sentence does not have to be the final word. The ACT provides pathways to appeal decisions from both the Magistrates Court and the Supreme Court, and Andrew Byrnes Law Group has experience in preparing and presenting criminal appeals across all levels of the ACT court system. Whether you believe the verdict was wrong, the sentence excessive, or new evidence has come to light, our Canberra lawyers can assess your prospects and take action.
Why Choose Andrew Byrnes Law Group
Criminal appeals require different skills to trial work. They involve detailed analysis of transcripts, identification of legal errors, and persuasive written and oral submissions to appellate judges. Our lawyers provide:
- Assessment of appeal prospects within the 28-day deadline
- Preparation of appeal notices, grounds, and written submissions
- Oral advocacy before the ACT Supreme Court and Court of Appeal
- Bail pending appeal applications
- Fresh evidence applications where new material has emerged
