APPELLATE ADVOCACY

If you wish to appeal a criminal or civil case that has been decided in Provincial or Supreme Court, Helps Law Offices can help. We are experienced appellate counsel who argue at the Court of Appeal on an ongoing basis.

There are limited timelines with which to file an appeal. Usually, an appeal can be filed up to 30 days from the date of the judgment, although in some instances the Court will allow for an appeal to be filed after that date.

There are two types of Criminal Appeals: Conviction Appeals and Sentence Appeals. A Conviction appeal means that you want to appeal from a finding of guilty by a judge; a sentence appeal means that you want to appeal from a sentence given to you by a judge after a finding of guilt or a guilty plea.

In a Civil case, you can appeal from the judgment rendered by the judge or from the monetary amount awarded.

Every individual case is different. Helps Law Offices offers free consultations so that your individual case can be assessed by one of our lawyers and we can advise you on the best course of action for you. Please call us to set up an appointment.
