If you've been convicted of a crime and want to appeal, you need an attorney experienced in appellate law. When you appeal a case, it moves from the local court where your trial took place, to Boston where it will be heard by the Appeals Court or the Supreme Judicial Court. It takes a special set of legal skills to practice in those courts and we've been doing it for decades. Check out our webpage for actual video of our Supreme Judicial Court hearings. www.BatesRiordan.com Murder appeals are the most complex kind of criminal appeals. The stakes are high.
