Atlanta DUI Appeals Lawyer

Atlanta DUI attorney Matthew T. McNally offers legal services to clients wishing to appeal their DUI conviction. There are many legitimate reasons why an individual may choose to appeal a conviction. Perhaps important facts or convincing evidence were not submitted in court. Maybe the prosecution or the court failed to follow the laws that govern DUI cases. Maybe the convicted’s previous attorney did not follow standard procedure or provide proper legal counsel. Or perhaps there were legal or procedural errors during the trial.

Regardless of the reason for filing an appeal, Atlanta DUI attorney Matthew T. McNally can help you prepare your petition and guide you through the appeals process.  In Georgia there are two types of appeals:  a direct appeal and a post-conviction appeal.  A direct appeal, the more traditional form appeal, is filed with next higher court from the previous ruling court.  A post-conviction appeal is filed with the same court that tried the original case.

Filing a DUI Appeal in Atlanta

If you plan to file an appeal, you must do so quickly as you only have a limited amount of time. To begin the appellate process you must file a petition with the appropriate court. Once you have filed the petition, the appellate court will review the original court files and decide whether or not the lower court’s ruling was accurate.  After reviewing all pertinent information, the appellate court will either uphold the conviction or reverse part or all of the ruling.
