Pursuing an Appeal in Georgia State Court
Marcia Shein and Elizabeth Brandenburg, experienced Georgia state appeals attorneys, have handled dozens of appellate cases. Ms. Shein and Ms. Brandenburg have the ability to identify issues in a case that were raised in a lower court and present them in a compelling way in a motion for a new trial or appeal.
Marcia Shein and Elizabeth Brandenburg will thoroughly review your case, looking for legal issues that could produce a positive outcome. They will first prepare your motion for a new trial and then the appeal. Much of the research and analysis work for the motion for a new trial can be applied to the appellate effort. Our firm will work diligently to prepare a successful appeal effort, pursuing it to the Supreme Court of Georgia if necessary.
Legal Advice and Assistance in the Trial Phase
In some cases, it is important to begin preparing for an appeal during the trial itself. Doing so can protect the trial record and preserve the defendant's ability to appeal should an adverse verdict be rendered.
Our firm welcomes inquiries from other defense lawyers regarding state and federal appeal cases. As with other legal matters, the earlier you obtain legal assistance, the better off your client will be. Marcia Shein has served as second chair in the trial phase of a number of criminal cases, and can provide assistance during the trial itself in order to preserve the client's appellate options.
