If you act quickly, you can directly appeal the decision in your federal criminal case. After a sentence is set, you only have 14 days to file an appeal, so you need to work to secure an experienced federal appeals lawyer as soon as possible. In a direct appeal, you will have a chance to lay out all the issues you have with the decision, which could include court errors, judicial errors, jury errors, or other legal issues and misconduct that occurred throughout the case. You will need to persuade a higher court that the decision the judge came to was unjust or otherwise unlawful, which is a high standard to meet. It is crucial that you work with a talented attorney who knows how to handle appeals in Michigan federal cases.
If you lost your initial case, don’t continue trying to get a better result without changing your approach. Hire a more experienced federal attorney who can help you ramp up your efforts and aggressively battle back against the possibility of harsh punishment.
28 U.S.C. 2255 also allows for an appeal before a higher court. This section of the law, also known as a habeas petition or a 2255 can be invoked anytime a person is incarcerated and believes that incarceration is due to a violation of his or her rights. In many cases, a habeas petition is used to point out errors that your own ineffective lawyer made which caused you to lose the case. If your legal counsel was ineffective, you may have the opportunity to continue your fight with a more competent attorney on your side.
