Appeal Lawyer Edmonton

Once a conviction has been entered and a sentence imposed, it is very difficult to undo on appeal. As such, if you are looking to appeal a criminal conviction, it is important that you find a good Edmonton criminal appeal lawyer.

Types of Criminal Appeals

Generally speaking, there are two types of criminal appeals: Conviction Appeals and Sentence Appeals. Conviction appeals occur when you are contesting the finding of guilt. Sentence appeals occur when you are contesting the penalty imposed. Appeals to the Alberta Court of Appeal generally occur separately, with the conviction appeal proceeding first and the sentence appeal proceeding only if the conviction appeal is successful. Therefore, if your Edmonton Appeal lawyer is successful in overturning your conviction, you will not need to ensure the costs of proceeding with a sentence appeal. 

Criminal Appeal Lawyer Canada

Stacey is an established criminal appeals lawyer that has been successful in both the Alberta Court of Appeal, the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench, and the Northwest Territories Court of Appeal. Stacey also currently has multiple files headed to the Manitoba Court of Appeal and accepts Appeals across Canada, often at no additional cost when compared to an Alberta Appeal. This is because most provinces have reciprocal agreements that allow Stacey to appear in other jurisdictions, without additional cost, and many Appellate Courts continue to operate virtually, removing any previously associated travel costs. Please note that the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut are not members of the National Mobility Act. As such, there is an additional cost to have Stacey handle an appeal in these jurisdictions.
