Criminal appeals and post-conviction relief offer crucial opportunities to challenge wrongful convictions or excessive sentences when trial-level errors occurred. Under Florida Rules 3.850 and 3.800, you may have grounds to modify your conviction based on new evidence, constitutional violations, or ineffective assistance of counsel.

The First District Court of Appeal handles criminal appeals from Escambia, Santa Rosa, and Okaloosa County circuit courts, requiring specialized knowledge of appellate procedures and strict filing deadlines.

Whether you need a direct appeal challenging legal errors at trial or post-conviction relief based on newly discovered evidence, experienced appellate representation is essential for identifying and presenting winning legal arguments.
