White Collar CrimesCriminal AppealsA person convicted of a crime has only one opportunity to appeal. Trials commonly involve disputes about many issues. Successful appeals, in contrast, almost always turn on a few, critical issues. It is essential, therefore, that appellate counsel have the experience and judgment to identify the best possible issues to raise on appeal.
The time within which to file an appeal can be quite short. In addition, the preservation of issues for appeal can sometimes require that other steps be taken, such as filing a post-trial motion in district or superior court. If you are considering an appeal, you need to understand as quickly as possible what steps must be taken to preserve all issues and to timely file your appeal.
What should I do if I need to appeal a criminal conviction or sentence?
If you are looking to appeal a criminal conviction or sentence, you should speak to a knowledgeable criminal appellate lawyer as soon as possible. Tim Anderson has handled numerous criminal appeals in federal and state court. He knows how to evaluate and refine the issues raised by trial counsel.

He knows how to identify the issues that are most likely to prevail on appeal, and how best to present those issues to the appellate courts. Tim Anderson ensures that his clients’ rights on appeal are fully protected.
Federal CrimesWhile most crimes are considered state crimes, extremely serious crimes affecting interstate commerce usually fall under the category of federal crimes. Federal crimes can result in severe punishments and penalties.
If you have been charged with or are under investigation for a federal crime, it is important to understand that many criminal defense lawyers do not have significant experience in federal cases. Federal courts have their own sentencing guidelines, rules of evidence, and procedures. If you are being investigated for or have been charged with a federal crime, the Law Offices of Timothy R. Anderson can help. Tim Anderson has successfully handled virtually all types of federal criminal cases.
Examples of federal crimes include:
|
|
- Health Care Fraud
- Anti-Kickback Laws
- Environmental Crimes
- Endangered Species Act / Lacey Act
- Bank Robbery

- Weapons Possession and Trafficking
- Prostitution
- Other Serious Crimes

In addition to severe legal punishment, these charges come with collateral consequences that can affect employment, the right to possess firearms, and immigration status. Whether you are experiencing your first encounter with the law or you have previous offenses, a talented defense attorney can help you.

Internet & Computer CrimesCharges of internet and computer crimes, including identity theft, computer hacking, cyber stalking, and internet fraud are very serious. Possession of child pornography through the internet is one of the most common crimes. Simply being charged with these and other computer crimes can devastate your life and your future.
What are the potential consequences for internet and computer crimes?
Most internet crimes, including computer fraud and cyber stalking, can result in long prison sentences. Conviction of an internet sex crime, including possession of child pornography, can also result in mandatory lifetime registration as a sex offender. Often, police officers pose as minors in “chat rooms” and engage in sexual conversations with other chat room visitors. Adults are then arrested when they attempt to meet the police officer who posed as a minor, and they can face very serious charges.
