Appellate Criminal Lawyer in Oakland

The appeals process can be daunting, especially if it's your first time facing it. With Bill Panzer on your side, you'll know what to expect every step of the way. Here's how he makes it work for his clients:

• Case Evaluation: Bill starts by analyzing your case details from top to bottom, identifying potential legal errors or issues that may strengthen your appeal.
• Clear Communication: No legal jargon here. Bill makes sure his clients understand each phase of the process, keeping you updated and making things as clear as possible.
• Strategic Planning: Each appeal is unique, so Bill customizes his approach to fit your specific situation. He builds a strong argument to highlight the flaws in the original trial, aiming to give you a real chance for a new outcome.

Not all cases are open to appeal, but several factors may create an opportunity for a second look. Bill Panzer can help identify whether any of these reasons apply to your case:

• Insufficient Evidence: Sometimes, the evidence presented at trial doesn’t actually support the conviction. This can be one basis for an appeal.
• Legal Missteps: Errors made by judges, prosecutors, or defense attorneys during the trial might have unfairly influenced the verdict.
• Misconduct by Officials: In cases where prosecution or law enforcement may have overstepped, misconduct could be grounds for appeal.
• Sentencing Errors: If the court issued a sentence that doesn’t match the offense, an appeal may help reduce it.

Bill’s years of experience as a criminal appellate lawyer means he knows what to look for and how to present it effectively. His attention to detail and tenacious attitude give your appeal the boost it needs.
