You may have been illegally charged with a crime you didn’t discuss, possibly even forced to take a ride “downtown” and spend a few days in jail. But you weren’t guilty and none of the facts say you were.
Hire an appellate attorney!
As small as the problem may seem, when you’re out and not looking back, if you’ve been charged, you need to know your rights. Those rights include the opportunity to appeal if you were wrongly charged and served a sentence, or paid the fine, knowing you did nothing wrong.
Ask for help.
There is nothing wrong with seeking an attorney to defend your case or asking for an appellate attorney to oversee your case. Maybe you’ve already solved your case and it’s not looking as good as you think it should? Call an appellate attorney to get a better review of what your rights should be.
Yo have to go ahead.
Your life may depend on it. If you have a record, it appears. If your record shows up and it shouldn’t even be a record, you’ll want to fix it right away. Call an appellate attorney and resolve that issue.
For example:
When you live in Colorado and need to rent an apartment, the landlord does a criminal background check. If there is anything on his record that shows up, including judgments against him in court, he may not be able to rent a house. Those sentences would have to be overturned by requesting that they be appealed and dismissed in the appellate court. Only a Colorado appellate attorney can do that.
Other states have similar laws, so while this may not be related to Colorado specifically, there is a limit to my knowledge on this particular topic. I know the laws of Colorado.
Basic law will get you through hoops, if you have a good lawyer. But if you’re working with a second-rate lawyer and they confuse you. You’ll need someone who can fix you. The best thing you can do then is to hire the best lawyer you can get to solve your problems. That means hiring the best Barrister appellate attorney.
If you lost it in the lower courts, you’ll need confidence at the next level. So don’t let yourself down and hire a crazy fool, fool in the chair, call a guy who won’t do his best for you.
Hire the BEST you can afford.
So now that I’ve told you that, I’m going to share my story:
I’m here working every day, breaking my chops for a living. And I barely made ends meet. And then comes this person who shakes my cage and convinces me that I can walk away happy if I do this. All I have to do is write company reviews and post them on my blog. Well, I do that, and I write amazing reviews of businesses I know, but I forget to ask how I get paid.
Time passes and I find out how they pay me. She had told me but I wasn’t listening. Then I went to her blog and she literally walked me through every step of the process. From writing the review to sending it to the company asking for her “blessing” and getting paid to post her review on my blog. It was a really cool deal, and several of those companies paid me something to sponsor their blog post. A few hundred dollars here and there was pretty good. So, I started working on a list of clients and would go back to the originals and ask for more money for another review.
So, I’m sitting in the Ford dealership and the lady walks in. She has the key to a new RED Ford Truck in one hand and the paperwork for a “gift” Ford Truck she is displaying in the other hand.
What the hell?
So I watched her. I said her Hello. Later, when the salesman went to get the rest of the paperwork, I went over and asked him what he was doing with the truck. She said, “I’m giving it away on my website.”
The deal is that they paid her for a red Ford truck to advertise this Ford dealership, and they gave her a second truck to give away, just like hers. All this for ads.
I saw the price of that truck. They paid him $47,000 for ads that year, plus they gave him another truck for the same value.
That’s one hell of a traffic driving machine right there in those skinny jeans. And she didn’t even add any additional influence when she walked away!
Now, I figure if she can do it, can I do it right?
Well, I hiked up my pants, smoothed my shirt over my beer belly into my belted khakis, and told the shopkeeper, “I want a deal like that!”
Next thing I knew I was in handcuffs and talking to my lawyer because the dealer thought he was trying to buy my love.
I guess there’s one thing my mom taught me. She told me that if you’re in a hole, she stops digging and shuts up, because you’re not talking your way out of a hole.
The stupid lawyer wasn’t getting me out of trouble, so I waited until I could appeal my case.
