A 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 ensures that his clients’ rights on appeal are fully protected.

While 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.

Anderson can help. Tim Anderson has successfully handled virtually all types of federal criminal cases.

In addition to severe legal punishment, these charges come with collateral consequences that can affect employment, the right to possess firearms, and immigration status.

What should I do if I have been accused of a federal crime?

If you have been charged with a federal crime of any type, or are being investigated by federal authorities, you need an effective and experienced federal criminal defense lawyer.

Charges 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.

What should I do if accused of an internet or computer crime?

If you have been accused of an internet or computer crime, speak to a knowledgeable defense lawyer as soon as possible. Early preparation by an experienced defense lawyer can increase your chances of a favorable outcome, including the possibility of you not being charged or of charges being dropped.
